Be on Holiday
[ 2006-10-19 08:00 ]
Tommy hated school and was always looking for excuses not to go.
If
he sneezed, he asked his mother to write a note saying he had a cold.
If he
had a headache, he asked his mother to take him to the doctor during school
hours.
He spent more time at home than he did at school.
On the days
that he did go to school, he looked for excuses to come home early.
One morning he came home when the lessons were only half finished.
His father was surprised.
"You've come home early," he said. "Is the
school closed today?"
"No, Dad, " Tommy said - "It's open. I came home
early.
"How did you do that?" his father asked him. "What did you say to
the teacher?"
"I told her that I had a new baby brother and that I had to
come home and help you . "
"But your mother has had twins," his father
said, "a boy and a girl. You've got a baby brother and a baby sister."
"Yes,
I know, Dad, " Tommy said. "I'm saving up my baby sister for next week "
