Hal was home from college for the holidays. He said to his little sister, Sue, ”Would you like me to read you a narrative?”
”What is a narrative?” Sue asked.
”A narrative is a tale,” Hal told her.
That night when Sue went to bed, Hal asked, ”Should I extinguish the light, Sue?”
Sue asked, “What does extinguish mean?”
“Extinguish means to put out,” Hal explained.
The next day they were at dinner when their dog made a nuisance of himself.
”Hal,” Sue said, ”would you take the dog by the narrative and extinguish him?”

The second one thought a moment and said, ”That must be the license plate of the car that hit him.”
This past spring my church was flooded along with other places in the area. On the day back one of the Sunday School teacher decided to have a lesson on Noah and The Ark.
She asked the question: "Did you know that all the animals came on the ark in pairs?"
After some discussion, the teacher's fears were realizes as Little Johnny was waving his hand to be called on.
Little Johnny volunteered, "Teacher, all but the worms! They came on board in the apples."
