Little Johnny is lying in bed, busting to go to the toilet.
So, he gets out of bed, runs downstairs into the living
room, and finds his mother chatting to a bunch of her
friends.
"Mommy," Johnny yells at the top of his voice, "I gotta
pee, I gotta pee!"
Well, needless to say, the mother is mortified at her son's
language in front of her guests and scolds the young boy.
"Johnny, we do not shout that word in this house! Next
time, just whisper, okey?"
Little Johnny nods sheepishly. His mother takes him to
the bathroom and tucks him back into bed. The next night,
little Johnny is busting to go to the toilet again.
So, he gets out of bed, runs downstairs into the living room,
and there his mother, having a glass of wine with her friends.
"Mommy! I gotta whisper, I gotta whisper!" he says.
His mother excuses herself and takes Johnny to the bathroom,
smiling at her son's innocent mistake. But relieved that he was
at least more discreet than last time. She then takes Johnny
upstairs and tucks him into bed.
"Well done sweetie," she says, kissing him goodnight, "That was
much more polite"
A few nights go by and low and behold, little Johnny is busting
to go to the toilet again. So, he gets out of bed, runs downstairs
into the living room, and there is his dad watching TV. "Daddy!"
Johnny says softly, "I gotta whisper, I gotta whisper!"
"Aw, is that so, little buddy?" says his dad, his eyes fixed on the television.
"Come on over here. And whisper in daddy's ear."
I have too much wisdom to keep to myself,
so I share my wisdom with everyone.
Not my fault nobody listens to me.
