"Dumbest" Kid in the World! ~ Happy Holidays!

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer,

"This is the dumbest kid in the world.
Watch while I prove it to you."

The barber puts a dollar bill in one of his hands and two quarters in the other,
he then calls the boy over and asks,
"Which do you want, son?"

The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

"What did I tell you?" said the barber.
"That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.

"Hey, son! May I ask you a question?
Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"

The boy licks his ice cream cone and replies,
"Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over."

Thought to Remember

ALEXANDRA SCOTT - INSPIRATION
Alexandra Scott was born on January 18, 1996 to parents Jay and Liz. Two days before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. When Alex was four, she was inspired to have a lemonade stand with the goal of raising money to help �her hospital� and in July of 2000, Alex donated over $2,000 to Connecticut Children�s Medical Center.

Alex and her family moved to Philadelphia in early 2001 to pursue new treatment options. She continued her lemonade stand and her third year she raised $20,000 for Children�s Hospital of Philadelphia in honor of her friend Toireasa, who had recently lost her battle with neuroblastoma.

Last year, Alex set a goal of raising $1 million for her lemonade fund. With the help of friends, family and strangers who hosted lemonade stands in all 50 states and a few other countries, Alex�s goal was met. Sadly, on August 1, Alex passed away. However, before Alex passed away, she set another goal: to raise $5 million for pediatric cancer research in 2005. Alex�s Lemonade Stand will continue as a living testament to the inspiration one young girl provided.
