[00:00.18] Unit 80 As Kids Say It Tell a Story with a Moral A primary school class was asked to tell a story with a moral. [00:11.21] Kathy went first." Once, we were driving a basket of ten eggs to market and we it a big bump in the road. [00:19.37] The eggs broke. The moral is do not put all your eggs in one basket." Tammy was next. [00:28.15]" Once, we had a dozen chicken eggs, but when hatched, we got only ten chicks. The moral is do not count your chicks before they are hatched. [00:39.31]" Then it was Johnny's turn." When my Aunt Karen was in Desert Storm, her plane was hit. [00:47.30] She bailed out over enemy territory with only a bottle of whisky and a machine gun. [00:54.05]"" She drank the liquor on the way down so it would not break, and landed in the middle of 100 enemy soldiers. [01:01.59] She killed 70 with the machine gun. When she ran out of bullets, she killed the rest with her bare hands. [01:10.11]"" What's the moral of that terrible story?" the teacher asked, horrified. [01:16.49]" Stay away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking." Looking for Dad A young boy was lost in the mall. [01:26.52] He ran ut over to a police office." I 've lost my dad!"" What's he like? [01:34.14]" he asked. [01:35.27]" Soccer and beer."" Cheese!" The camera is always in use when our three year-old grandson, Tyler, comes by. [01:47.02] I did not realize how much until the night of a large thunderstorm. [01:51.57] Our son called to tell us that when a bolt of lightning lit up their flat, [01:56.43] Tyler turned to the window and said," Cheese!" Turning Forty I recently turned 40, and on that day I took my nine year-old daughter, [02:08.08] Kelsey, shopping. [02:09.59] As we crossed the car park, she exclaimed," Happy 40th birthday, Mum!"" Thank you, honey," I said, [02:18.18]" but do not broadcast the 40 part, please." I went on to explain that I was not upset about turning 40, [02:25.46] but if people thought I was younger, that was fine with me. [02:30.30]" Why do not you tell people you 're 50 then?" Kelsey asked." Then you 'll look really good! [02:37.17]" Worry The night before I was scheduled to have major surgery, Jeremy, our nine year-old son, became worried. [02:46.19]" I 'm scared, Mum. What if the doctor makes a mistake?" I calmly explained that the doctor had years of experience and mistakes were unlikely. [02:56.45]" But what if he does?" Jeremy persisted. [03:01.27]" Then he 'd be in a lot of trouble," I teased. [03:05.25]" You mean we could sue him," Jeremy brightened," and I could get a new bike?"
