Little Fred
A new teacher was trying to make use of her Psychology courses. She started her class by saying,
"Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!"
After a few seconds, Little Fred stood up.
The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Fred?"
"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

Happy Fathers Day
Grandfathers Are Fathers Who Are Grand
Grandfathers are fathers who are grand,
Restoring the sense that our most precious things
Are those that do not change much over time.
No love of childhood is more sublime,
Demanding little, giving on demand,
Far more inclined than most to grant the wings
Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.
Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers,
Helping out with young and restless hearts,
Each has all the patience wisdom brings,
Remembering our passions more than others,
Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

Eat Well Be Active
Enjoy eating well
Eating well is about enjoying the food you eat, not just about nutrients. Vitamin and mineral supplements should not, and cannot, be used to replace a balanced diet. So get into the habit of enjoying tasty, fresh and healthy meals. It's easy once you're in the swing of it! Here are a few tips:
- eat a healthy breakfast
- avoid snacking between meals
- plan healthy, quick and easy meals for busy days
- enjoy cooking - experiment with new foods and try new recipes
- make the most of foods in season
- make mealtimes special occasions for the whole family
- eat slowly and savour every mouthful
- listen to your body - stop when you feel full

Little Johnny
Little Johnny was eating breakfast one morning and got to thinking about things.
"Mommy, mommy, why has daddy got so few hairs on his head?" he asked his mother.
"He thinks a lot," replied his mother, pleased with herself for coming up with a good
answer to her husband's baldness.
Or she was until Johnny thought for a second and asked,
"So why do you have so much hair?"
