Son: Mum, if someone broke your best vase what would you
do?
Mum: I'd spank him and send him to bed without any supper!
Son: Well, you'd better get the slipper. Dad's just broken it!
Mum: Horace, why are you crying?
Horace: I've hurt my finger, Mum.
Mum: When did you do that?
Horace: Half an hour ago.
Mum: I didn't hear you crying then.
Horace: No, I thought you were out.
Harry was given two apples, a small one and a large one,
by his Mum. "Share them with your sister," she said.
So Harry gave the small one to his little sister and started tucking
into the large one.
"Cor!" said his sister, "If Mum had given them to me I'd have
given you the large one and had the small one myself."
"Well," said Harry, "that's what you've got, so what are you worrying
about?"
