A father waits for Little Johnny to come home from school.

The son is an hour late.

Little Johnny: “I helped a Granny cross the road!”

The Little Johnny shows up with a friend.

“Why are you late? and who’s that with you?” asks the father.

“He’s a classmate. We helped two Grannies cross the road!” says Little Johnny.

The next day the father is waiting again.

The father, surprised:

“Why are you so late from school, and who are all these kids?”

“That’s great!” says the father “here’s $5 for your efforts.”
