Things To Make You Smile

Things To Make You Smile.

This past week has been a difficult one for myself and my family, so today's blog post will be short. I don't want to fill the page with tears and sadness, instead I'm offering a few little things to make everyone smile.

Dirty Joke

A husband and wife and their two sons are watching TV. She looks at her husband and winks at him, he gets the message and says, "Excuse us for a few minutes boys, we're going up to our room for a little while." 

Pretty soon one of the boys becomes curious, goes upstairs and sees the door to his parents bedroom is ajar. He peeks in for a few minutes, trots downstairs, gets his little brother and takes him up to peek into the bedroom. 

"Before you look in there," he says, "keep in mind this is the same woman who smacked our asses just for sucking our thumbs."

Pour melted* chocolate chips over top, allowing to drizzle over sides. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. For bundt, drizzle melted chips over the top and dust with powdered sugar.
