PERIOD!

It's late (early) - snowing outside - unusual for the Willamette Valley - and I'm tired - not sure if this is funny or not.  Maybe I'll delete it in the morning.  Either way - I chortled and guffawed at a young boy being so proud as to put this on a chalkboard.




A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about 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 called upon walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down.

Puzzled, the teacher asked him just what it was.

"It's a period," said the little boy.

"Well, I can see that," she said, "but what is so exciting about a period?"

"Darned if I know," said the little boy, "but this morning my sister was missing one, Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted, and the man next door shot himself."
