MARY'S QUESTIONS
|
8 year old Mary and
her mother are walking through the mall together one day.
"Mommy," says the little Mary, "how old are you?"
"I'm not saying." replies her mother.
"Why not?" demands the child.
"Well, that is something you will understand one day when you
grow-up."
"Mommy," asks Mary again, "how much do you weigh?"
"Never mind," answers the mother.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Because grown-ups never talk about how much they weigh. This is
something you will learn and understand someday."
"Mommy," insists the child, "why did you and Daddy get
divorced?"
"Darling," responds the mother in exasperation, "that's
something still very painful for Mommy, and I really just can't talk about
it now."
A few days later, Little Mary recounts this conversation to a friend at
school. The friend explains how to overcome the problems...."All you
have to do is get your mother's driver's license. It has all the
information about any grown-up you want on it. You just read it like
a report card and it'll give you anything you need."
So little Mary does as her friend recommended. That night she sneaks into
her mother's room while her Mom was cooking dinner. She rummages through
her purse and finds the driver's license.
After examining it carefully she
walks up to her mother and says, "I know how old you are! You
are 35!"
The mother is very surprised.
"And, I know how much you weigh. You weigh 136 pounds, right?"
The mother is shocked.
"And, I know why you and Daddy got a divorce."
The mother, dumbfounded asked, "Why?"
"It's because you got an F in sex."
