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
Johnny, knowing that he sometimes
could be a bit crude. But eventually his
turn came.
Little Johnny 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 Johnny had in mind for his
report, so she asked him just what that was. "It's a period," reported Johnny.
"Well I can see that," she said, "but
what is so exciting about a period."
"Damned if I know," said Johnny, "but
this morning my sister said she missed
one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next
door shot himself."
