Caller: I'm Sam Wan ( someone) And I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what'sthis urgent matter about?
Caller: Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan ( no one ) wasinvolved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being
sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't
have time for this!

Dogs set good Example
Subject: FW: Great Advice!
Am sure the kids would enjoy reading… lessons from dogs J
If a dog was the teacher you would learn stuff like: When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory .
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back in the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout ... run right back and make friends. ! Delight in the simple joy of a long walk. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough. Be loyal! . Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

"To Our Dear Child...."
On the day
when you see
us old, weak
and weary……
Have patience -
and do try to
understand us…….
If we get dirty when eating…and..
If we cannot dress
on our own…
Please bear with us and remember the times we spent feeding you
and dressing you up.
If, when we speak to you, we repeat the
same things over and over again…
do not interrupt us…
When you were small, we had to read to you the same story a thousand and one times until you went to sleep.
...listen to us.
When we do not want to have a shower,
neither shame us
nor scold us…..
Remember when we had to chase you with your thousand excuses to get you to the shower?
When you see our ignorance of new technologies….
Help us navigate our way through these worldwide webs..
We taught you how to
do so many things…
To eat the right foods,
to dress appropriately,
To fight for your rights….
When at some moments we loose the memory or the thread of our conversation……...let us have the necessary time to remember… and if we cannot, do not become nervous…..
As the most important thing is not our conversation but simply to be with you and to have you listening to us….
If ever we do not feel like eating, do not force us. We know well when we need to and when not to eat.
When our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane….
Lend us your helping hand the same way we did when you
tried your first faltering steps.
And when someday we say to you that we don’t want to live anymore, that we want to die……….
Do not get angry….
For one day you will understand.
Try to appreciate that our
age is not just lived but survived.
Some day you will realize that
despite our mistakes… We always
wanted the best for you.. And we
tried to prepare the way for you…..
You must not feel sad, angry nor ashamed for having us near you.
Instead, try to understand us and help us like we did when you were young.
Help us to walk..
Help us to live the rest of our life with love and dignity.
We will pay you
with a smile and
by the immense love we have
always had for you in our hearts.
We love you, child..
