My sister understands everything! A little girl and her older brother were visiting their grandfather\u2019s farm. The older brother decided to play a trick on his younger sister.<\/p>\n
He told her that he had discovered a man-eating chicken somewhere near the barn. The girl\u2019s eyes widened with terror. She immediately ran inside, convinced that a dangerous creature was loose on the farm. Her brother laughed to himself, pleased with how easily his trick had worked. But only moments later, he heard his little sister scream.<\/p>\n
He ran inside immediately. She was standing in the kitchen, pointing in horror at their grandfather, who was calmly chewing down on a plate of fried chicken. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d he asked, already worried that something had happened.<\/p>\n
The sister turned to him in fear and said, \u201cIt\u2014it\u2019s\u2014it\u2019s IT\u2019S A MAN-EATING CHICKEN!\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary was having a tough day and had stretched herself out on the couch to do a bit of what she thought to be well-deserved complaining and self-pitying. She moaned to her mom and her younger brother, \u201cNobody loves me\u2026the whole world hates me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Her mother tried to comfort her, but her brother, busily occupied playing a game, hardly looked up at her. Mary waited for him to say something kind, hoping at least her little brother would understand how terrible she felt.<\/p>\n
Instead, he passed on this encouraging word\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true, Mary. Some people don\u2019t even know you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chief of staff of the US Air Force decided that he would personally intervene in the recruiting crisis affecting the country\u2019s armed services.<\/p>\n
So, he directed that a nearby Air Force base be opened and that all eligible young men and women be invited. He wanted to personally meet the recruits and discover what skills they could bring to the military. As he and his staff were standing near a brand-new F-15 fighter jet, a pair of twin brothers walked up to them. The chief of staff stuck out his hand and introduced himself.<\/p>\n
He looked at the first young man and asked, \u201cSon, what skills can you bring to the Air Force?\u201d<\/p>\n
The young man looked at him confidently and said, \u201cI\u2019m a pilot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The general got all excited. He turned to his aide and said, \u201cGet him in today, all the paperwork done, everything, do it!\u201d The aide immediately hustled the young man off, eager to make sure they didn’t lose such an obviously valuable recruit. The general then looked at the second young man and asked, \u201cWhat skills can you bring to the Air Force?\u201d<\/p>\n
The young man calmly said, \u201cI chop wood.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSon,\u201d the general replied, sounding almost disappointed, \u201cwe don\u2019t need wood choppers in the Air Force. This is the 20th century!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d the young man said, \u201cyou hired my brother!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, we did,\u201d said the general, completely puzzled by the young man\u2019s response. \u201cHe\u2019s a pilot!\u201d<\/p>\n
The young man rolled his eyes and said,<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not getting it. I have to chop it before he can pile it!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Johnny, why does your little sister cry?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I helped her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that is a good thing!<\/p>\n
What did you help her with?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI helped her eat her gummy bears.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
