Early one morning, a mother went to her sleeping son and woke him up, shaking him gently. "Wake up, Honey. It's time to go to school."
"But why, Mama? I don't want to go to school," he whined.
"If you can give me two good reasons why you shouldn't go to school, maybe I'll consider it," she taunted.
"Well for one, all the children hate me. And two, all the teachers hate me," he concluded.
"Oh! Those are not good reasons. Come on... get up. You have to go to school now."
"OK", he retorts, "Can you give me two good reasons why I *should* go to school?"
"One, you are 52 years old, Honey. And two, you're the PRINCIPAL." |
