Kids say the darndest things

One day, the son saw a photo of his grandfather hung on the wall in his uncle house. As this was the first time he saw that photo, looking puzzled,he asked his dad who was that in the picture.

Dad: It’s your grandfather,son.

Son: Where is him now?

Dad wasn’t sure that his son will understand “passed away” in Mandarin thus he answered in the following:

Dad: Grandpa is dead already

Looking shocked after hearing the answer, he asked his dad:

Son: Who killed Grandpa? Why?

Dad was speechless for the very moment.

another conversation between a father and son too:

One day, the father noticed his 5 year old son’s shirt was not buttoned nicely, he asked his son:

Dad: Son, why can’t you button your shirt correctly?

Son: Daddy, I used my hands to button up my shirt,and unfortunately my hands don’t have eyes on it thus how can i see my shirt if buttoned correctly or not?

The father was stunned by his little son’s reply.

A Hole Behind

peac3 — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:36:15 +0800

A man, while playing on the front nine of a complicated golf course became confused as to where he was. Looking around, he saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her, explained his confusion and asked her if she knew what hole he was playing.

She replied: "I'm on the 7th hole, and you are a hole behind me, so you must be on the 6th hole."

He thanked her and went back to his golf.

On the back nine the same thing happened and he approached the woman again with the same request.

She said: "I'm on the 14th hole, you are a hole behind me, so you must be on the 13th hole."

Once again, he thanked her and returned to his play. He finished his round and went to the clubhouse where he saw the same lady sitting at the end of the bar. He asked the bartender if he knew the lady. The bartender said that she was a sales lady and played the course often.

He approached her and said: "Let me buy you a drink in appreciation for your help. I understand that you are in the sales profession. I'm in sales, also. What do you sell?"

She replied: "If I tell you, you'll laugh."

"No, I won't."

"Well, if you must know," she answered. "I work for Tampax."

With that, he laughed so hard he almost lost his breath.

She said: "See I knew you would laugh."

"That's not what I'm laughing at," he replied. "I'm a salesman for Preparation H, so I'm still a hole behind you.

ps: Tampax = Tampons, Preparation H = ointment for hemmarhoids/piles

Yuan Fen/Serendipidity

peac3 — Thu, 15 May 2008 00:42:46 +0800

Just wondering what are the LYNers opinion of this? Have you experienced it and what do you think about it, and how much it has contributed to your love life and relationships. Just curious and its something different for us to talk about in the threads here.

Anyway, for those who are not familiar with the terms:

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.

Yuanfen (緣份) is a connection of bound destinies. A meaningful relationship is often conceived of as dependent strong yuanfen. It is very similar to serendipity. A similar conceptualization in English is, "They were made for each other," "fate," or "destiny".
