The proud young father took his 4 year old son to the railroad station to show him the trains. They toured the station and looked at the engines, the box cars, the passenger cars,the dining cars, and the cabooses. Finally, when they had seen everything and were about to go, the little boy tugs on his daddy's coat.
"Daddy, if big dogs have little dogs, and big cats have little cats, how come big twains don't have little twains?", asked the little boy.
Well, the proud young father was somewhat taken aback by this question, and didn't want to start into the "birds and bees" right there in the train station, when he saw the conductor standing a little way off. He said, "Son, see that man standing over there with the little hat and shiny buttons? He knows everything there is to know about trains. Go and ask him."
So the little boy did. He went up the the conductor and asked, "Mister, if big dogs have little dogs, and big cats have little cats, why don't big twains have little twains?"
The wise old conductor smiled and asked, "Sonny, who told you to ask me that?"
"My Daddy, over there." replied the boy pointing to his father.
"Well, Sonny, you just tell your daddy that The big trains pull out on time!" |
