A Period
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 walked up to the front of the
class made a small white dot on the blackboard and 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?''
''Damned 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."
