Woman Shocked A Welfare Officer When She Walked There With Her 15 Kids.
This is hilarious. Having 15 kids ain’t easy, but this woman knows how to deal with them all. Take a look and get your laugh for today!
A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids…
“WOW,” the social worker exclaims, are they ALL YOURS???”
“Yep, they are all mine,” the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, “Sit down, Leroy.” All the children rush to find seats.
“Well,” says the social worker, “then you must be here to sign up. I’ll need all your children’s names.”
“This one’s my oldest – he is Leroy.” “OK, and who’s next?” “Well, this one he is Leroy, also.”
The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy!
“All right,” says the caseworker. “I’m seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?” Their Momma replied, “Well, yes–it makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, ‘Leroy!’ An’ when it’s time for dinner, I just yell ‘Leroy!’ an’ they all comes a running. An’ if I need to stop the kid who’s running into the street, I just yell ‘Leroy’ and all of them stop. It’s the smartest idea I ever had, naming them all Leroy.”
The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, “But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?”
“I call them by their last names.”
If this made you laugh, please share it with your friends!
United Airline CEO Refuses To Let Frail Senior Take Her Seat
In recent years we’ve stumbled upon various testimonies of passengers flying with the United Airlines, most of which judging their poor customer service. Although it’s not easy to satisfy the needs of so many people who opt to travel with them, the customers should always come first. The company is known to be trying to reshape its public image, however. The latest story relating to this company brings a change of the spirit after the act the CEO did.
Rebecca Kuchar Krutz is being honest when she confesses how United Airlines is not her first choice when it comes to traveling by plane. She prefers their competition, the Delta Airlines. But, this time, she found herself sitting a United first-class seat.
Writing a Facebook post about the experience, she recalls what she got to witness. Namely, once she boarded, she could see people approaching a guy. She didn’t recognize him at first but then realized it was the company’s CEO, Oscar Munoz, who had already taken his seat at the VIP section. Another passenger, an elderly woman whom Rebecca saw chatting with Munoz at the gate was taking her seat at the economy class. But that’s when things took different turn.

What Rebecca has to share with the rest of us is just amazing.
“I’m a pretty loyal Delta Airlines customer. But tonight I was on a flight w the CEO of United. I was a bit surprised seeing him walk back into the economy section of the plane to take his seat. Seated in front of me on the plane was an elderly lady in her 80’s (maybe even early 90’s). She didn’t appear to be in great health and had a bit of a hard time with her speech. Prior to boarding, I’d seen Oscar (the CEO) make his way out of a crowd of people in order to go over and speak w her.”
According to Rebecca, it was clear from the CEO’s face that what he did was an honest good deed. He was really happy to give his seat to the woman, and the lady herself was astonished by the gesture.

Rebecca was impressed by that gesture too. She felt she had to tell the world how things should be done. The old lady was initially nervous to be on a plane, but what she experienced made her fears fade away.
“That, ladies and gentleman, is how it should be done. Treat our elders with the respect and care they deserve. I may very well be a lifelong United customer after witnessing that act of selflessness by a man who likely has his own private plane, and yet was humble enough to give up his seat to an elderly lady he’d never met before, because he thought she’d be more comfortable there. United??”
She ended her post by cheekily asking everyone, “United??” Oscar certainly knows how every passenger is important and should be treated as such.
Facebook/Rebecca Kuchar Krutz
Oscar was raised in a household where he was taught to treat the elderly with the utmost of respect. He told the Houston Chronicle:
“I was brought up in a house where we were taught to respect our elders. I have a grandmother in her 90’s and if she walks into a room where family is seated, we rise and offer her the most comfortable seat. We do this out of love and respect as she is the matriarch of our family and we feel she deserves to be treated this way. You did this exact thing; only for a woman you’d never met before, and likely will never cross paths with again. Thank you for extending such kindness and respect to an elderly passenger. While it may have been a small gesture for you, I can assure you it meant a great deal to her, and though I don’t know her, it meant a great deal to me as well.”
Most CEOs put business before the customers without realizing that the customers are the ones who make you successful. Oscar isn’t like most bosses, he is a kind-hearted man, and above all, a human.
Spoof Emails Capture Chaos Of Planning Christmas Office Party
We all want to attend a good Christmas party that will let us chill and simply enjoy the most wonderful time of the year. But have you ever though how complicated it is for such a gathering to be organized?
Below is described the attempt of Pauline, a HR Director, to come to terms with everyone’s wishes, but fails a great deal. The story is fictional, but still a perfect example of how the common sense among humans is simply fading away as people nowadays get easily offended by everything and everyone.
Check it out.

RE: Christmas Party
I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We’ll have a small band playing traditional carols… please feel free to sing along. And don’t be surprised if the CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus!
A Christmas tree will be lit at 1pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone’s pockets. This gathering is only for employees!
The CEO will make a special announcement at the Party.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

RE: Holiday Party
In no way was yesterday’s memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we’re calling it our “Holiday Party”. The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table… you didn’t sign your name. I’m happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, “AA Only”; you wouldn’t be anonymous any more!!!!!
How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?
Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the union officials feel that $10 is too much money and management believe $10 is a little cheap.
NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party
What a diverse group we are! I’ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets. Gays are allowed to sit with each other, lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men’s table too. To the person asking permission to cross-dress – no cross-dressing allowed.
Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food – we suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply “No Sugar” desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything ?!?!?!?!

People! People! Nothing sinister was intended by wanting our CEO to play Santa Claus. Even if the anagram for “Santa” does happen to be “Satan.” There is no evil connotation to our own little “man in a red suit.”

Vegetarian jerks, I’ve had it with you people!!! We’re going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table farthest from the “grill of death,” as you so quaintly put it, and you’ll get your f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I’ve heard them scream. I’m hearing them scream right NOW !!
I hope you all have a rotten holiday, The Bitch from HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery and I’ll forward your cards to her. In the meantime, the management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and instead give everyone the afternoon of December 23 off with full pay.
Happy Holidays!
Kelly Clarkson Joins The Stage With Trisha Yearwood And Reba McEntire
Kelly Clarkson’s musical talent took our breath away from the moment she first walked on the stage of American Idol back in 2002. Once she let her voice fill the place with magic, we all knew she will remain one of the nation’s sweethearts.
Over the years, Kelly’s performances of the all time favorite holiday melodies became the synonym of Christmas. Each year, we are eagerly waiting for her to choose a song and make of it a memorable rendition that will bring the Christmas spirit in each of us.
This year, however, among the hits she chose to give a new life to is the song “Silent Night” she performs along with two other huge names in the showbiz. The result is indeed something special.
Kelly hosted a Christmas special that brought at the same place some of the most iconic artists. Many singers that practice different type of music got together and listening to every one of them is a real pleasure.
Kelly sang with Trisha Yearwood and Reba McEntire, and the way this trio sounds is out of this world. A perfect blend of three exquisite voices that leave us dumbfounded and eager for more.
The organizers of the show did the right thing giving Kelly the role of a host. Her charm lit the stage up and reminded us once again what she is our favorite.
Stars like the late great Robin Williams, Blake Shelton, Whoopi Goldberg, Jay Leno, Danica Patrick, Heidi Klum, Ken Jeong and Jai Rodriguez also joined “Kelly Clarkson’s Cautionary Christmas Music Tale.” They all added a personal flair to an evening of Christmas fun.
Although it’s a privilege to be performing alongside any of these amazing artists, Reba told The Boot how Kelly and Trisha are her favorite.
“They entertain me. I sit back with my jaw dropped and just listen to them sing and perform. I’m just in awe of them.”
This NBC’s show was seen by millions of people who were treated with the ultimate singing and a night to remember.
The combination of voices of three such beautiful ladies really lifts the Christmas spirit.
Listen to this incredible trio sing “Silent Night” for yourself below. We hope we’ll get to see more of them in the future.
Susan Boyle Sings Christmas Song That Gives You Goosebumps
I’m sure everyone remembers when Susan Boyle first took the stage of one of the most popular music shows, Britain’s Got Talent. When the judges saw the middle-aged woman walking in, they didn’t expect much, but once she started singing, she left everyone in awe. Her voice spread to the end of the huge place and some strangely magical beauty could be felt in the air.
Now, with the Christmas just around the corner and all the holiday songs that announce the birth of our Savior, we get to listen to many renditions of those familiar melodies. However, this year, nothing compares to Susan’s performance of the classic “Away In A Manger,” which comes from her second album, “The Gift.”
YouTube
The soul and the deep emotions that pour from this incredible song are enough to get anyone in the Christmas spirit! She wows everyone who gets to listen to her angelic voice that sends chills down our spine. The version of this song is bound to become your favorite.
Susan is a devoted Christian who keeps the faith near to her heart. She explained her religious beliefs to Christian Post saying:
“My faith is incredibly important to me on every level. It gets me through those moments of self-doubt and also allows me to understand that this gift of my career, later in life, is from a higher power. Religion is very important to me and I still attend church services regularly. As a young child, I went with my family to church and sang in the choir. I find that my religion gives me a direction in life and brings great happiness. “
She performs at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York in front of a huge crowd that gathered to feel the magic and the spirit of the holiday during the annual lightning of the Christmas tree.
YouTube
This once-in-a-lifetime show starts with little children dressed in outfits that speak Christmas singing in a choir. They might be young and tiny but their voices are incredibly powerful. They start singing the introductory lyrics and when we think it can’t get any better, Susan takes the stage and it’s impossible not to get goosebumps while listening to her amazing vocal abilities.
What a wonderful way to ring in the holiday season.

Listen to Susan’s performance for yourself below. She is amazingly talented.
Couple Served In WWII Together, Married For Seven Decades, Die On The Same Day After Taking Their Last Nap Together
If you have ever questioned the existence of true love, the story of Isabell Whitney and Preble Staver will make all your doubts fade away.
The two first met before the WWII took place and were separated until it came to an end. During those years, Preble was serving in the Marines and the love of his life joined as a nurse in the Navy.
This loving couple was married more than 70 years and stood by each other’s side for better and for worse and ended their life dying on the same day, embracing each other and holding hands.
The sweethearts got hitched in 1946 and raised five children together.
One of their children, Laurie Staver Clinton, told PEOPLE, “They were great people. Mom really taught me that you can’t change another person but you can change your attitude towards them. Dad was a bit of a prickly pear!”
As time passed by and they got old, they were placed at a care facility as Isabell started suffering from dementia which was getting worse over time. Unfortunately, that resulted in having to keep the lovebirds in a separate rooms.
62-year-old Laurie said how his mother was forgetful and didn’t recognize many people who were part of her life, but she never forgot Preble. “Sometimes we’d have to tell her to focus and look but when she looked and knew it was dad, she’d get that little smile”
On Preble’s 93rd birthday, he only had one wish, and that was to be allowed to spend some time with his wife of seventy years. The facility staff were glad to grant him the wish and the two laid next to each other for more than 3 hours.
“There was not a single word spoken between the two of them. They held hands and just fell asleep. I told dad, ‘This is mom’s birthday present for you.’ He was just so happy that he got to take his nap with her,” Laurie said.
On October 25, Laurie got the devastating news of her mother’s passing. She rushed to the hospital to say the final goodbye with Preble by her side.
“He held her hand, and it was just so tender. I asked him if he wanted to stay after the prayers, and he shook his head. I said, ‘Okay, but you know that means you’re going to have to let go of her hand?’ I was crying, and he was crying,” Laurie recalled.
Preble died hours after his loving wife. It’s unusual how the two left the world on the same day. It was as though they were destined to live together, and die together.
Their marriage was one of those that not everyone gets to experience. The old-school union in which a couple lives by the real values of honest love, respect, and never letting go.
“Mom and dad really lived out that, if you make a commitment, and even though life gets rough or life gets in the way, you work through life, and you live your life together.”
The below video is of a 92-year-old Veteran who sings to his wife. The relationships like that of Isabell and Preble, and the one below, are a reminder that true love still exists.
Pentatonix Belts Soulful Rendition Of ‘Mary Did You Know
Our all time favorite a capella group, Pentatonix, never ceases to take our breath away while performing the much anticipated holiday hits. In the latest video they released, they give new life to the song “Mary Did You Know” and the whole experience is touching.
They perfectly season the hit with a pinch of a modern-day flare and the final result is astounding.
The scenery they chose only adds to the magic they create, which can’t be compared to any other rendition we’ve stumbled upon this following season. They make the Christmas spirit be felt as their voices blend in perfect harmony and fill the air with joy.
YouTube
The song that catches the hearts of millions of people each season was originally written back in 1984 by Mark Lowry and despite its many renditions, none touches the soul as this one. The purity and the perfect blending of the voices of the members of Pentatonix will send shivers down your spine.
Mark told The St. Augustine Record:
“At the cross on Mount Calvary, while Jesus was dying, [Mary’s] silence was a great testimony to the fact of who he was and is. He said to them, ‘When you have seen me, you have seen the Father.’ Of course, for this they nailed him to a cross, and his mother never said a word.
As my mind went back to the manger scene, I began to think about the power, authority and majesty she cradled in her arms. Those little lips were the same lips that had spoken worlds into existence. All of those things were contained in the young child lying quietly on her bosom. Even now, he was the very one who had given life to his mother, Mary.
I began writing a list of questions I would like to ask Mary if I could sit down with her – questions such as, ‘Mary, do you know who is in your arms?’
‘Did you know the one who holds creation together, and the one who holds you together is lying helpless in the manger?’
‘Did you know that your baby boy will walk on water, give sight to a blind man and calm a storm at sea with his hand?'”
From the moment it was initially released, the song had been performed by many talented musicians in very different stiles, but this version is sure to become your favorite.
The melody and the lyrics coming from the hearts of these performers reflect on the blessings Christmas have for each of us.
YouTube
The five skilled vocalists from Texas put their talents on display for the world to see as they gently crooned out each note. Not only their voices are captivating, but the way they act and let the emotion of the song be shown through their facial expressions is just amazing.
Once you hear them, you’ll want more. They beautifully capture the spirit of the song and the season.
Only a few more “sleeps” until Santa comes to town!

Hear for yourself how the best rendition of this song sounds in the video below.
Customers Are Hit With ‘Truth’ After Man Pays For Groceries
Among all the pranks we get to see on YouTube, most of which tend to
bamboozle people and make them feel bad about themselves, a man named Stuart Edge who is widely known as an ultimate prankster, brings to us something quite different.
His viral videos of good pranks bring laughter and joy at the people from all around the world. To be honest, to come up with a perfect prank is not an easy job, but Stuart gets assistance from real professionals who help him pull his ideas off. In the last video, he got a helping hand from his friends Bart Johnson and Charan Prabhakar, from Disney’s High School Musical.
As Stuart says, “It’s the holiday season and it’s a great time to focus our efforts on giving back,” and we can’t agree more.
YouTube
Bart and Charan are playing store cashiers, nicely dressed in green aprons, and completely into their role.
Stuart comes up with the ultimate plan of helping random customers by offering to pay for their groceries pretending to be an angel sent from Heaven.
So, while many people who are doing their shopping at the store wait in queue, out of the blue, a man in a fully white outfit comes along and starts a conversation with them.
YouTube
Stuart approaches and says he is coming from “management” that’s “upstairs.”
The cashiers are very chatty and “can’t see” the man in white who makes small talks with the customers insinuating he is a real angel. The next thing he does leaves them completely puzzled as he places his smartphone near the pay station and pays for their bill. Once he does it, he just walks off while the people stare at him wondering what is going on.
After this, the cashiers ask the customers whether they’ll use their credit card or cash to pay for their groceries, which confuses them even further. They say how their bill was paid already by the man in white who had just wandered off the store.
YouTube
The shoppers are left in disbelief and can’t figure out how the cashiers don’t see the “angel.” When they point to the direction he left, Bart and Charan tell them how the managements’ offices are in the opposite direction which baffles the shoppers even more.
Most people reacted with a smile, but there was one particular family whose reaction was so overwhelming that Stuart couldn’t proceed with the prank.
YouTube
This family was struggling to make ends meet as they were about to pay for the groceries using their credit card. It was their son’s fifth birthday so they simply had to do everything in their power to buy things and celebrate it the right way.
This touched Stuart and the whole crew so they asked the parents to get back into the store and buy everything they need, all covered up.
They couldn’t believe the kind gesture and tears of joy rolled down their faces. This kindness was their ultimate Christmas present. Now they wanted to do a good deed for someone else and pay the generosity forward. This was the best “thank you” Stuart could get.
Take a look at the heartwarming video below. It may inspire you to become a “Secret Santa”, or like in this case a “Secret Angel” to someone in need of some holiday magic.
