There was a blonde on a train once. He wanted to sleep before he got off because he was fatigued from a hard day. He told the man in front of him to wake him up when they got to the station so he wouldn’t miss it. He gave him 20 rupees. The man said yes. The blonde didn’t know that the man he gave the money to was a barber who likes to mess with people. The barber thought that 20 rupees was too much to spend to wake up the blonde. The barber gently and carefully cut off the blonde’s beard while she slept.
The blonde woke up when the train stopped, which was what she was supposed to do. She got out and went home. When he got there, he washed his face and glanced in the mirror. When he saw what he saw, he jumped back and yelled in shock and fear. His wife asked him what was wrong when he terrified her. He stared at the blonde’s freshly shaved and strange face and said, “The train cheat took my 20 rupees and woke up someone else!”
Sally, who is two years old, was waiting with her mom in the dentist’s waiting room while her older sister had her teeth checked. Sally kept herself busy by playing with the toys that were all over the place. She sat back in her chair and closed her eyes for a bit because her mom was exhausted. Sally looked up and saw that her mom was asleep with her eyes closed. She walked over to her mom and shook her shoulder with a loud, sweet voice. “Mommy, get up!” she said. This isn’t a church! Everyone in the waiting room laughed at Sally’s brutally honest and beautifully honest statement.
A father and his little kid went to a barbershop in another city. The male sat down first and got everything done: a haircut, a shave, a shampoo, and a manicure. He put the kid in the barber’s chair and said, “I’m going to the parade with a green tie.” I’ll be back in a minute. The barber started cutting the boy’s hair again, but the man was still gone when he was done. The barber looked around and said, “It seems like your dad has forgotten all about you.” He didn’t miss a beat when the kid stated, “That wasn’t my daddy.” He came over to me, grabbed my hand, and said, “Come on, son, let’s go get a free haircut!”
Then there was Marley, a redneck who went to the barber shop in town to get his hair cut. The barber worked on Marley’s hair for more than half an hour, cutting, shaping, and trimming it. When he was done, he showed Marley the back of her head in a mirror. The barber inquired, “What do you think?” Marley nodded to say that he was fine with it. “Very good,” he said. “But what if we made the back a little longer?” Marley clearly didn’t know how haircuts worked, so she told the barber to do something else.
In the end, a girl went to a pet groomer to find out how to clip the hair of her dog. She was really angry when she found out it would cost $50. “Fifty bucks?” She exclaimed, “I only pay thirty dollars to get my hair cut!” The groomer smiled at her in a terrible way and said, “That might be true.” But you don’t bite, do you?
When kids, pets, barbers, and other people are around, life is full of surprises. These short stories make us chuckle about the strange and unexpected things that happen to us every day, like being on the wrong train, saying something silly at the dentist, or getting a free haircut.
