Billy’s Quandary
One day, Billy's teacher asked him, "I hear your mother had a baby Billy. What did she have?"
Billy paused and thought for a moment and said, "I think she had a bicycle."
"Really now Billy, you know that your mother didn't have a bicycle. What did she have?"
"Maybe it was a tricycle."
"Billy, don't stand there and tell me fibs. Let’s see if the principal can get you to tell the truth.”
The teacher escorted Billy to the principal's office and explained what happened. The principal looked amused but stern at Billy and said, "I believe you were lying to your teacher Billy. You know your mother didn't have a bicycle or a tricycle. What did your mother have?"
Billy looked up, fear in his eyes and said, "Well, maybe she had a go-cart."
That was more than enough and resulted in the principal calling his mother who promptly went immediately to the school to sort out the problem.
Billy's mother arrived at the principal's office.
"It seems that Billy has decided to start telling lies. His teacher asked him what you recently had, and he said a bicycle, then a tricycle, then a go-cart!"
Billy's mother teared up, and through her sobs, replied to the principal and teacher, "No. Sadly, I had a miscarriage."
Billy sat up straight and said, "I ***KNEW*** that it had wheels!"
Billy paused and thought for a moment and said, "I think she had a bicycle."
"Really now Billy, you know that your mother didn't have a bicycle. What did she have?"
