John, while walking along the pavement in front of his church, heard the
intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his
five-year-old son, Rory, and his playmates had found a dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a
small box and some cotton wool, then dug a hole and made ready for the
disposal of the deceased.
Rory, the minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers
and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his
father always said, 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and
into the hole he goooes.'
An educational psychologist is asked to see a pupil who draws all his
pictures with black and brown crayons. He talks to him. Nothing obvious.
He gives him projective tests. Nothing shows up.
Finally, in desperation, he gives him some paper and a box of
crayons. "Oh goody," says the boy, "I get an old box of crayons in
school and only the black and brown were left.'

her parents.'

Jenny was watching her daddy getting dressed in his dinner jacket
[tuxedo] before the party. "You shouldn't wear that, daddy," she
murmured. "Why, darling?" inquired her father of Jenny. "Well you know
it always gives you a headache in the morning," said Jenny. |
