TALKING TOO MUCH

[Frank Lamb]

Eight-year-old Nina brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good...mostly A's and a couple of B's.

However, her teacher had written across the bottom: "Nina is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit."

Nina's dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back: "Please let me know if your idea works on Nina because I would like to try it out on her mother."

You have no idea how funny that is. My first grade teacher always wrote that I was well behaved, did my work but talked too much in school. I still talk too much.
