This is rather old...but...
One day the teacher tells the class they're going to play a thinking game,
and asks for a volunteer. "Pick me, pick me," begs Bobby.
"Okay, Bobby," says the teacher. "Now I'm going to describe objects to
you and you tell me what they are. Here we go. What's red, shiny, and
you eat it?"
"A cherry," says Bobby.
"No, it's an apple, but it shows you're thinking," said the teacher gently.
"Ready for the next one? What's yellow and you eat it?"
"A lemon," says Bobby.
"No," says the teacher, "It's a banana, but it shows you're thinking."
Before the teacher could continue, Bobby interrupts. "Okay, teacher, I've
got one for you." He reaches into his pocket, looks down, pulls his hand
out, and asks, "What's long, pink, and has a little red head on the end of
it?"
"Oooh, Bobby!" squeals the teacher.
"No, it's a match, but it shows you're thinking." |
