Hug A Shed And Take A Selfie Day

A little boy went to the library to check out a book titled Comprehensive Guide for Mothers.

"Is this for your mother?" the librarian asked.

"No," said the boy.

"So why are you checking it out?"

"Because I started collecting moths last week."

"I know how you feel," she said.

"I had my horse for 20 years and just put him to sleep last week."
