A Small White Dot

"A Small White Dot"

A kindergarten class had a homework assignment
to find out something "exciting" and relate it to the
class the next day.

When the time came to present what they'd found,
the first little boy Johnny the teacher called on,
walked up to the front of the class and with a piece
of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard
and then sat back down.

Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.

"It's a period," Johnny replied.

"I can see that," said the teacher, "but what is
so 'exciting' about a period?"

"Darned if I know," Johnny said, "but this morning
my sister Susie said she was missing one. Mommy
fainted, Daddy had a heart attack, and the boy next
door joined the Navy."
