Little Johnny & A Piercing

"Baby Weight"

Our Lamaze class included a tour of the pediatric
wing of the hospital. When a new baby was brought
into the nursery, all the women tried to guess its
weight, but the guy standing next to me was the
only male to venture a number.

"Looks like 9 pounds," he offered confidently.

"This must not be your first," I said.

"Oh, yes," he said. "It's my first."

"Then how would you know the weight of a baby?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I'm a fisherman."

"Little Johnny & a Piercing"

Little Johnny had just gotten his ear pierced, and
the other students were bombarding him with
questions about the process.

"Does the hole go all the way through?" Billy asked.

"Yes," answered Little Johnny.

"Did it hurt?" asked Susie.

"Just a little," replied Little Johnny.

"Did they stick a needle through your ears?" asked Jacob.

"No, they used a special gun," said Little Johnny.

Silence followed, and then Joe called out, "Like,..
how far away did they stand?"
