G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….  

When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended a pre-birth class aimed at couples who had already had at least one child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to the older child. It went like this: 

“Some parents,” she said, “tell the older child, ‘We love you so much we decided to bring another child into this family.’ But think about that. Ladies, what if your husband came home one day and said, ‘Honey, I love you so much I decided to bring home another wife.'” 

One of the women spoke up immediately. “Does she cook?”

Thursday’s  Quizzler is……….

(Thing 1)

I, at the start, am old

Many centuries I’ve been told

Used by the Greeks

For counting techniques

After things were bought and sold

Later is when I became known

As an infinite figure, when shown

You’ve counted my spaces

Over two billion places

And still, my amount is unknown

(Thing 2)

I, too, am not young

I’m almost as old as Thing 1

I’m just a frog

On the natural log

But I can make counting fun

(Thing 1 and Thing 2)

When you combine us two

In the order of Thing 1 and Thing 2

We’ll be a baked treat

That’s painful to beat

Whether cherry, peach, or aloo
