I have a large stockpile of One Minute Wit stories, so I have decided to post some collections of them. This is the first collection. It still won’t take long to read them all.

Kids These Days
Hold on, Mommy. I need to make sure the camera angle is correct.
I didn’t get 274,000 TikTok followers by slapping up just anything.
Positive Reinforcement
Three-Line Conversations
“Bring me my coffee, Sweetie.”
“Here you go.”
“That’s a good boy. Here’s your treat. Next week, we will work on putting the toilet seat down.”
About Those Coconuts
I was living on the second floor of a building in a studio apartment. But my apartment had no roof. It was open to a big, beautiful blue sky. Two trees were hanging over my lack of a roof, and as I looked up, I saw that one of the trees had a bunch of giant grapes hanging from it.
Although I was alone, I said, “Look! I’ve got grapes.”
Then I noticed that it was really a palm tree and that the giant grapes were actually green coconuts, some of which were falling into my room.
I thought I will gather those and give them to my friends since I don’t like coconut.
Then I got a text message and woke up.
So, if you don’t get any coconuts today, don’t blame me.
Too Ambitious
I wanted to get an early start, but I soon discovered that raking leaves is much easier if you wait for them to fall out of the tree.
Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.

However! Pro pasta-in-box points:
* box removes easily from water with tongs;
* soggy box removes easily from spaghetti brick;
* brick cuts easily into servings with a steak knife, and family members can choose the tenders ends, the firm middle, or in between.
Plus the sauce people can add sauce, and the garlic butter people can do their thing.
I'm reminded of the time I accidentally dropped the entire spaghetti box in the pot of boiling water.
