Little Johnny

submitted by Patti Dozier

I love this kid....

Little Johnny's neighbors had a new baby. Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears. When the mother brought the baby home from the hospital, Little Johnny's family was invited over to see him.

Before they left their house, little Johnny's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears. His dad also him that if he so much as mentioned anything about the baby's missing ears or even said the word "ears," he would get the spanking of his life when they came home.

Little Johnny told his dad that he understood completely.

When Johnny looked into the crib he said, "What a beautiful baby."

The mother said, "Why, thank you, Little Johnny."

Little Johnny said, "He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see?," asked Johnny.

"Yes," the mother retold plied, "We are so thankful. The doctor said he will have 20/20 vision."

"That's good," said Little Johnny, "`Cuz he'd be out of luck if he needed glasses!"
