A grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning. He had made her coffee. She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her life. When she got to the bottom, there were three of those little green army men in the cup.

She said, "Honey, what are the army men doing in my coffee?"

Her grandson said, "Grandma, it says on TV - 'The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup!'"

The pie was sour, the pudding to sweet,
And the mincemeat much too fat.
The soup was greasy, too, and salty,
''Twas hardly fit to eat!

"I with you could taste the bread and pies
My mother used to make.
They were something else, and
It would do you good
Just to look at a slice of here cake.

Said the smiling wife, "I'll improve with age.
Just now, I'm only a beginner --
But your mother called to see me today --
And I got her to cook the dinner!"
