"License Problems"*
*An 8 year old girl and her mother are walking along
the street together one day. "Mommy," says the little
girl, "how old are you?"
"Darling, you should never ask a woman what her age is."
"Why not?" demands the child.
"Well, that is something you will understand one day
when you're grown up."
"Mommy," asks the girl again, "how much do you weigh?"
"Never mind." answers the mother.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Because grown-ups never talk about how much they
weigh. This is something you will learn and understand someday."
"Mommy," insists the child, "can you tell me why you
and Daddy got divorced?"
"Darling," responds the mother in exasperation, "that's
something still very painful for Mommy, and I really just
can't talk about it now."
A few days later, the child recounts this conversation to
a friend at school. The friend explains how to overcome
these problems..."All you have to do is get your mother's
driver's license. It has all the information about any
grown-up you want on it. You just read it like a report
card and it'll give you anything you need."
So the little girl does as her friend recommended. The next
day, she walks up to her mother and says, "I know how
old you are! You are 35!"
The mother is very surprised. "And I know how much you
weigh. You weigh 146 pounds, right?" Her mother is shocked.
"AND I know why you and Daddy got divorced. You got an F in sex!"
