A Hundred Dollar For A Family of Four

By katrine2706

A platter of homemade banana cakes.Growing up wasn't that easy for a simple girl who is shy and almost doesn't talk in public. My family has had a lack of resources since I was a kid, as my parents were just starting a small family. I remember one time my parents told me and my older brother to hide during snack time because we only have water and fried bananas on our lunchbox.

Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A little boy, playing in front of his house, saw him and called,"What've you got in your truck?"

"Manure," the farmer replied.

"What are you going to do with it?" asked the little boy.

"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.

"You ought to live here," the little boy advised him. "We put sugar and cream on ours."
