**Heavenly hush
**When my son was four, I was having trouble trying to explain to him what happens when a person dies so I told him they go to heaven in the sky. When we emigrated to Australia a year later, it was his first plane ride and he sat in silence most of the way. When I asked what was wrong, he looked up at me and whispered that he didn’t want to disturb the people in heaven. GG, Australia
**out of pocket
**We were a group of elderly ladies enjoying lunch together at a Christmas social. Towards the end of the meal, Aunty, who is 90 years old, started patting her trousers looking for her hankie. Not able to find it, she stood up and, with a struggle, eventually located it on her left side. “That’s funny,” she said, “I usually put my hankie in the right-side pocket.” I don’t think she noticed she had her pants on back-to-front and the right pocket was now on the left!
