Get a Job & 12 Post Cards

Get a Job
One day shortly after I had come home from college, my father was outside doing yard work. He found a bady bird under a tree and assumed it had fallen from its nest. Wanting to return the tiny creature to its home, my dad went to get a ladder. When he got back, he found another bady bird on the ground.
Suddenly he heard a loud chirping from above. Looking up, my father saw the mother bird giving a third baby the boot from its nest. With that, Dad walked into our house, took one look at me watching television and barked, "Get a job!"

12 Post Cards
My teen-age daughter was preparing to return home after having visited her grandparents for a few weeks one summer. Her grandfather gave her 12 post cards.
"Here, write us a few lines every month," he said.
Months passed and the cards remained unused-that is until the day this letter arrived:
"Dear Jennifer,
Life is a series of stages.
As a child, I looked forward to becoming a teenager-that happened.
As a teen-ager, I looked forward to becoming a young man-that happened.
As a young man, I looked forward to meeting a young woman, falling in love and becoming a married man-that happened.
As a married man, I looked forward to becoming a father-that happened.
As a father, I looked forward to becoming a grandfather to beautiful, intelligent grandchildren-that happened.
Then I looked forward to the day they would learn to write-that hasn't happened yet.
