Sweet Tooth

Pumpkin: See, Papa, I’ve got bitten by a mosquito again!

Papa: Yes… That’s only because you’re so sweet, Pumpkin.  All the mosquitos want to bite you…

(This was the umpteenth time we’d had exchanged these exact words)

(After a minute or two…)

Pumpkin: From today, I’m going to stop eating desserts.

Papa: Why, Pumpkin?   

(Obviously surprised as Pumpkin likes a dessert every day)

Pumpkin: So that I’m not so sweet any more, and the mosquitos stop biting me!

Truth about Cats and Dogs

Papa: It’s raining cats and dogs!

Pumpkin: No, papa.  It’s only raining cats.

Papa: Pumpkin, what do you mean?

Pumpkin: I can tell from the size of the rain drops, Papa.

Papa: How can you tell from the size of the rain drops?!

Pumpkin: Look, when it’s raining a lot… with very big rain drops… it’s raining cats and dogs.

When it’s raining a little less… with medium drops… it’s raining only dogs.

When it’s raining even less… but hard… it’s raining cats.

And, when it’s drizzling, it’s just a drizzle… Simple!
