Little Johnny’s next door neighbours had a baby. Unfortunately, the little baby was born without ears! When they got home from the hospital, the parents invited Little Johnny’s family to come over and see their new baby.
Little Johnny’s parents were concerned that their son would have a wise crack to say about the baby, so Little Johnny’s dad had a talk with him before going over to the neighbors house.
“Now, son, unfortunately that poor little baby was born without any ears. I want you to be on your best behaviour and try not to upset anyone. Do your best to to find nice things to say but please don’t say even one word about his ears!
Ok dad, I promise not to say a thing about his ears”, said Little Johnny.
At the neighbors home, Little Johnny leaned over the crib and touched the baby’s little hand. He looked at the parents and said, “Oh, what a beautiful little baby!” The mother, who had braced herself for Johnny’s comment, was pleasantly surprised and said, “Thank you very much, Johnny.”
He then said,” Your baby has perfect little hands and perfect little feet too. Why, just look at his adorable little eyes!
Did his doctor say he can see good?
The mother a bit bewildered, hesitantly replies “Why, yes… our doctor said he has 20/20 vision. Why do you ask?”
“Well that’s terrific”, Little Johnny said, “because he’d sure be screwed if he needed glasses.
