Aren't you his...?

A young boy was playing with a ball in the street.





He kicked it too hard, and it broke the window of a house and fell inside. A lady came to the window with the ball and shouted at the young boy, so he ran away, but he still wanted his ball back. A few minutes later he returned and knocked at the door of the house, and when the lady answered it, he said,
“My father’s going to come and fix your window very soon.”
After a few more minutes a man came to the door with a toolbox in his hand, so the lady let the boy take his ball away.
When the man finished fixing the window, he said to the lady,
“That will cost you exactly ten dollars.”
“But aren’t you the father of that young boy?” the woman asked, looking surprised.
“No,” he answered, equally surprised. “Aren’t you his mother?”

Genesis

Do you know how the human race appeared?

A little girl asked her mother, ‘How did the human race appear?’ 

The mother answered, ‘God made Adam and Eve and they had children, and that's how  all mankind was created.’

Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. 

The father answered, ‘Many years ago there were these monkeys from which the human race evolved.’

The confused girl returned to her mother and said, ‘Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?’ 

The mother answered,

‘Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his.’
