Aunt Lucy Was Losing Her Hearing And The Doctor ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
Aunt Lucy was losing her hearing and the doctor recommended surgery to correct it. She promptly vetoed the idea saying, “I’m 94 years old and I’ve already heard enough.”
Mike was watching the last part of the TV show when his Dad called down the basement steps, “Mike Come up for dinner”
Mike continued watching the show and ignored his call.
“Mike, Come up for dinner. Did you hear me?”
Twice he ignored his call. Just as the show ended, he shouted “Mike, Get up here now”
As Mike leaped to the top of the stairs, he yelled “Where have you been?”
Mike looked at him innocently and said, “Dad, I didn’t hear you when you called me the first two times”
