Honest Truth

"Honest Truth"

Young Jamie watched, fascinated, as his Mother
smoothed cold cream on her face.

"Why do you do that Mommy?" he asked.

"To make myself beautiful," said the Mother,
who then began removing the cream with a tissue.

"When They Built Rome"

Mrs. Taylor, aka "The Whip", asked her 5th grade
history class, "When was Rome built?" and
called on Timothy to answer first.

"Rome was built at night." was his answer.

"At night?" asked Mrs. Taylor, holding her ruler
firmly in her boney-knuckled hands.

"How ever did you get such an idea?"

"Well," gulped the student, hoping his answer
would satisfy her, "Everyone knows Rome
wasn't built in a day."
