The kindergarten
class had a homework
assignment to find out about something exciting and
relate it to the
class the next day. When the time came for the little
kids to give
their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a
time. She was
reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that he
sometimes
could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little Johnnie
walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a
small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well the
teacher
couldn’t figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report, so
she
asked him just what that was. „It’s a period,“ reported
Johnnie.
„Well I can see that,“ she said, „but what is so exciting about
a
period.“ „Damned if I know,“ said Johnnie, „but this morning my
sister
said she missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy
fainted and the
man next door shot himself.“
