THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill

CUTE KID QUOTES, courtesy of my Director of First Impressions, Debbie Mason. Her Dad sent her some doozies. This one, f’rinstance:

A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER asked her class, “What was Jesus’s mother’s name? One child answered, “Mary.” The teacher then asked, “Who knows what Jesus’s father’s name was? Another little kid said, “Virg.” Confused, the teacher asked, “Where did you get that?” The little one said, Well, you know they’re always talking about Virg and Mary.”

ANOTHER Sunday School teacher asked her class, “Why is it necessary to be quiet in church? A little girl replied brightly, “Because people are sleeping!”

BILOXI BOUND once again! (That Biloxi joke is beginning to lose its shine): Statesman’s John Manguso is closing escrow on yet ANOTHER home! This is a good month. Way to go, John! My Realtor Associates are going through these “getaway” prizes like wildfire! Works for me.

ONE GREAT THING about owning this little enterprise is that I get to hand pick the people who work here! Consequently, we have a jolly band of high-integrity, high-energy folks whom I can trust to take very good care of everyone they serve. It’s a pleasure to watch my Associates grow their businesses AND enjoy the trip. To Biloxi or wherever.

A COUPLE OF OTHER variations on the Lord’s Prayer as we know it: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some e-mail.” (This from a three-year-old girl). Then there’s the four-year-old who prayed, “And forgive us our trash baskets, as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.” I think he has a good grasp of the true meaning of this passage!

THAT NEW LISTING at 1705 Cape Cod Circle is worth another mention! Over 2300 square feet of two-story home for $519,950! Three bedrooms, two and a half baths! Large corner lot! Living Room AND Family Room! There’s more. Come and see!

HERE’S ONE of my favorites from Debbie’s story collection: After the dedication of his baby brother at church, Jason sobbed in the back seat of the car all the way home. His Dad asked him what was wrong three times. Finally, the boy replied. “That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, but I want to stay with you guys!”

AND FINALLY, a little boy was overheard praying a prayer I may have prayed myself at that age: “Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don’t worry about it. I’m having a real good time like I am.”

Have a great week! See you next Sat.
