        JOKE OF THE DAY

One day a teacher asked her second grade students
"what did you think goes to heaven first?

" One little boy said " I think it's your brain
because that's where all your knowledge is

"another girl says "No it has to be your eyes
because they are the window to your soul!

another boy says "NO way it's your heart
because that's where all your love is"

All the way in the back room a little girl
who never talks raises her hand and says
I think it's your feet"

The teacher exclaimed "Your feet"
"Why your feet"

The little girl replies
"because every night when i walk past my mommies bedroom
her feet are in the air and she's saying ....
OH MY GOD I'M CUMING I'M CUMING
