OVERHEARD AT THE CHECK-OUT STAND

Clerk to kid: How old are you?
Kid: I'm this many: I'm 5. (He holds up 5 fingers,
double-checks to see if they're all up).
Then asks: How old are you?
Clerk—I'm 65. (Kid looks at his fingers.)
Kid: Wow, you're really old! My mom is 47!
Clerk: Hey, you're not supposed to tell
anyone your mom's age!
The mother hides her face in her hands.
Everyone in line laughs.
