UP!

Ever stop to think about UP?

    There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other
two-letter word, and that is "UP".

    It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the
list, but when we waken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

    At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are
the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a
report?

    We call UP our friends And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP
the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP in the kitchen. We lock UP
the house and some guys fix UP the old car.

    At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP
trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

    To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

    And this UP is confusing:

    A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

    We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

    We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!

    To be knowledgeable of the proper uses of UP, look UP the word in the
dictionary. In a desk size dictionary, takes UP almost 1/4th the page and
definitions add UP to about thirty.

    If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways
UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP,
you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

    When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes
out we say it is clearing UP.

    When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it doesn't rain for awhile,
things dry UP.

    One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,

    for now my time is UP, so............

    I'll shut UP !!!!!!

Great Truths Children and Adults

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED

No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair.
If your sister hits you, don't hit her back.
They always catch the second person.
Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a tic tac.
Never hold a dust buster and a cat at the same time.
School lunches stick to the wall.
You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
The best place to be when you are sad is in Grandma's lap.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED

Raising teenagers is like nailing JELLO to a tree.
There is always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
One reason to smile is that every seven minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.
The best way to keep kids at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere... and let the air out of their tires.
Car sickness is the feeling you get when the monthly car payment is due.
Families are like fudge .. mostly sweet with a few nuts.
Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
Laughing helps. It's like jogging on the inside.
Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.
If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts.
You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
