A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology
courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone
who thinks they're stupid, stand up!"
After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up.
The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little
Johnny?"
"No, ma'am - but I hate to see you standing there all
by yourself!"
Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother
smoothed cold cream on her face. "Why do you do that,
mommy?" he asked.
"To make myself beautiful," said his mother, who
shortly afterward began removing the cream with a
tissue.
"What's the matter?" asked Little Johnny. "Giving up?"
Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip
to their local police station where they saw pictures
of the 10 Most Wanted criminals tacked to a
bulletin board. One of the youngsters pointed to a
picture and asked if it really was the photo of a
wanted person.
"Yes," said the policeman. "The detectives want very
badly to capture him."
Little Johnny asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you
took his picture?"
