New Baby

A woman was sitting at home entertaining her parents who had come around to
congratulate her on the birth of their first grandchild.

So, when can we see the baby?, asked the grandmother.

In a little while, replied the mother.

Some time passed. The grandparents were looking quite anxious at this point.

So, when can we see the baby?, asked the grandfather.

When the baby starts crying, replied the mother.

 The grandparents turned to look at each other, a little perplexed and asked, Why do
we have to wait until she starts crying?!

The mother snapped back, because I put her down somewhere this morning and I cant
remember where she is!

Magic Mirror

So there were girls: an ugly redhead, a fat brunette, and a dumb blonde.

The three girls were at a historical inn. They stopped to take a tour. The innkeeper
showed them a mirror. He said that if you told a lie in front of it, you would disappear.

The ugly redhead went up to the mirror and said, I think Im pretty and POOF! She
disappeared.

Then the fat brunette went up to the mirror and said, I think Im slim and POOF! She
was gone too.

Then the dumb blonde went up to the mirror and said, I think --- and POOF! She was
gone.
