My daughter-in-law was driving on the freeway when the sight of fl ashing lights in her rearview mirror made her pull over.


“Do you know why I stopped you?” asked the state


trooper. “You were going 85 miles per hour.”


“Impossible,” she argued. “I had my cruise control set at 82!”

We had just fi nished tucking our fi ve kids into bed when three-year-old son began to wail. Turns out, he had accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure he was going to die. Desperate to calm him, my husband palmed a penny that he had in his pocket and pretended to pull it from his ear. Our son was delighted. In a fl ash, he snatched it from my husband’s hand,


swallowed it, and demanded, “Do it again!”
