Funny story I heard today at a memorial service..........

The brother of my 83 year old mother's best friend of 77 years, died about a month ago. He died in Arizona, was cremated and his ashes returned to Pennsylvania for burial.

At the chapel were not only his ashes, but also those of his wife who preceded him in death. Attendees were asked to share stories about either the husband or the wife, who were parents of 6 boys.

A cousin related the following. The wife would have the boys clean themselves up for dinner and to change their dirty clothes after playing all day. After dinner they would go out again and come home in dirty clothes and again have to wash up and toss their dirty clothes in the hamper.

One day the cousin walked into the house at dinner time and found all 6 boys sitting around the dinner table completely naked. She asked her cousin what was going on the reply she got was "I'm tired of washing their clothes."

There was no one in the chapel not laughing.
