A pastor was making his routine visit to a local nursing home and went into the room of an elderly woman named Ida, whom he’d become friends with. As he was sitting there talking with Ida and hearing his stomach growl, he noticed a jar of peanuts on her dresser.
Pointing to the jar he asked, “Ida, do you mind?”. “Not at all”, said Ida.
After several minutes of discussion and prayer, the pastor stood up to leave and realized he had emptied the jar.
“Ida, I’m afraid I’ve eaten all your peanuts while we were talking”, said the pastor.
“That’s ok”, said Ida, “With my false teeth, all I can do is suck the chocolate off of them and put them back in the jar!”
