The third one couldn’t, her arms were too short.
... when he notices something odd about two workmen by the side of the path. The first workman would dig a hole, then the second workman would fill the hole, and the pair would move along a few feet and repeat the process. He is intrigued and watches them a for few minutes, digging and filling holes. Eventually he can't stand it any more and gets up to talk to them.
"Excuse me," he says. ""I've been watching you a little while. Do you mind me asking what are you doing?"
The first workman looks up from his digging and replies, "Sure thing. We're planting trees, but Fred's off sick today."
One day, one lady told the other, "This is terribly embarrassing, but I hope you understand. You know how it is to be old. I keep forgetting things. I have to tell you, my dear friend, that I simply can't remember your name. Could you please tell me your name again?"
The other lady looked at her for a long time, and asked, "How soon do you need to know?"
Beautiful day, sitting there quietly when suddenly...
"It's nice out."
Other guy looks over...
"Yeah well, better put it away before we're arrested."
Abe turns to Sol and asks, "Do you think there's baseball in Heaven?"
Sol thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let's make a deal -- if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there's baseball in Heaven, and if you die first, you do the same."
They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Abe passes on. Soon afterward, Sol sits in the park feeding the pigeons by himself and hears a voice whisper, "Sol... Sol... ."
Sol responds, "Abe! Is that you?"
"Yes it is, Sol," whispers Abe's ghost.
Sol, still amazed, asks, "So, is there baseball in Heaven?"
"Well," says Abe, "I've got good news and bad news." "Gimme the good news first," says Sol.
Abe says, "Well, there is baseball in Heaven."
Sol says, "That's great! What news could be bad enough to ruin that?"
Abe sighs and whispers, "You're pitching on Friday."

I think the name of the book was their names, and maybe the book had something to do with music like the boy had a band or something

The old man says, “That’s a lovely balloon! Where did you get it?”
The girl says, “I can’t tell you, it’s a secret!”
The man says, “Oh come now, you can tell me!”
The girl says, “Well, you seem like a nice old man. OK, I got it at the shoe store. They give kids balloons there.”
The old man says, “That’s nice. Enjoy your day,” and leaves to meet his wife at a diner. He never thought about this conversation again.
The other one couldn’t reach that far
they hear the jingle of the icecream salesman.
Grandma says : "I'd like some vanilla icecream."
Grandpa says: "Good idea, I'd also like some chocolate icecream".
Grandma stands up and says: "I'll go get some."
"You should write it, Grandma, you know your memory is not what it was... you'll forget !"
"Don't worry Grandpa, I won't, it's easy : vanilla, chocolate. Vanilla, Chocolate..."
And thus Grandma leaves Grandpa while singsonging "Vanilla, Chocolate ..."
A while later, Grandma comes back with a couple of hotdogs in her hands.
"Grandma ! what did you take ??? "
"Look Grandpa, I took two ketchup hot-dogs !"
"Grandma... I told you to write it down ! I knew you'd forget the mustard !"
My son said, "look dad, they're all lovey-dovey!"
Never been more proud!
