The Truth

At school, a boy is told by a classmate that most adults
are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it
very easy to blackmail them by saying, �I know the whole
truth� — even when you don’t know anything.
The boy decides to go home and try it out. As he is greeted
by his mother at the front door he says, �I know the whole
truth.� His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, �Just
don’t tell your father.�

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home
from work, and greets him with, �I know the whole truth.�
The father promptly hands him $40 and says, �Please don’t
say a word to your mother.�

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day,
when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets
him by saying, �I know the whole truth.� The mailman drops
the mail, opens his arms and says, �Then come give your
FATHER a big hug.�

Typical Sibling Banter

A little girl was overheard speaking to her older pre-teen sister. She asked her very seriously, “Would you wear shoes if you didn’t have feet?”The sister turned to the little girl and said, “What!?!” The little girl repeated, “Would you wear shoes if you didn’t have feet?” The sister said impatiently, “Of course not, what would be the point of wearing shoes if you had no feet?” The little girl said, “Then what is the point of wearing that bra?”

Deaf frog

Sidney was a 14-year-old boy with an interest in the sciences.

One summer day he started his own investigations. With his 12-year-old sister Sophie in tow, he caught a large bull frog in a local pond.

Sidney started his experiment with the amphibian, and told Sophie her job was to write down the results of the experiment.

Sidney drew a line in the sand, placed the frog on the line, and prodded the frog with a small twig from the rear and shouted, “Jump, frog!”

The frog jumped, and Sidney measured the distance. “12 feet…write that down, Sophie,” he said.

Next, he brought the frog back to the starting point and removed the frog’s right front leg.

Again he prodded the frog and shouted, “Jump, frog!” The frog jumped 10 feet, and on instruction, Sophie wrote it down.

Again the frog was brought back, the left front leg was removed, and again “Jump, frog!” Sidney reported, “Six feet…write it down.”

The next time, Sidney removed the large right back leg. “Jump, frog!” Then, he shouted “Jump, frog!” and prodded the frog. “The frog jumped 8 inches…writes it down, Sophie.”

Finally, Sidney removed the frog’s remaining back left leg, put it down and prodded the frog with the twig shouting, “Jump, frog! Jump, frog! JUMP FROG!! JUMP JUMP FROG!!!”

The frog didn’t jump. Sophie looked at Sidney, and said, “So what should I write down?”

Sidney thought a moment, and then told Sophie to write, “When you remove all the legs from a frog, it turns deaf.”
