“I built a leprechaun trap that was made to look like a tiny hotel. There was a ramp where the leprechaun could walk into the hotel, see a Lego pot of gold on the other side, try to reach it, fall through a trap door, go through a tube, wind up in a biscuit tin, and be trapped. My mom, encouraging my madness, told me that the leprechaun might escape and that I needed a shot glass of whiskey down there to keep him occupied while he was in there.” TryingLooksMadeMightFallSidesWalksDoorsWindMomNeededShotsBuiltGoldMadnessGlassesMy MomTinyHotelPotTrappedTrapsWhiskeyTubesTinBiscuitsRampLeprechaunLegosPot Of GoldShot Glass Author:Alex Hirsch

“I want you to think back to when you were a kid. Remember the day you learned you could burn ants with a magnifying glass? Oh, what a great day that was! You got to be God. You decided who lived, who died. I must've burned ants for an hour, just laughing. Then I saw one on my arm. Let me tell you something, when you burn yourself with a magnifying glass, you're on your own. You can't even tell your mom, because she gives that face, Oh, he is that stupid.” ThinkingWantGivingKidsRememberFacesHoursLaughingSawsStupidArmsMomDecidedLet MeDiedGlassesBurnedI Want YouAntsYour MomGreat DayMagnifyingMagnifying Glass Author:Bill Engvall
“I was raised by a single mom who had to put herself through school while looking after two kids. And she worked hard every day and made a lot of sacrifices to make sure we got everything we needed. My grandmother, she started off as a secretary in a bank. She never got a college education, even though she was smart as a whip. And she worked her way up to become a vice president of a local bank, but she hit the glass ceiling. She trained people who would end up becoming her bosses during the course of her career.” PeopleWayMadeTwoEndsHardKidsSchoolCoursesPresidentCareersSacrificeCollegeMomBecomingNeededSmartRaisedGlassesVicesLocalsGrandmotherBossSecretaryMy GrandmotherCeilingsWhipsVice PresidentSingle MomCollege EducationGlass Ceiling Author:Barack Obama
