Little Johnny (getting married)
Little Johnny and Susie are only ten years old, but they're sure they're in
love and decided they wanted to get married.
Little Johnny bravely approached Susie's father and said, "Mr. Jones, me and
Susie love each other and I would like to ask you for her hand in marriage."
Thinking this was the cutest thing he'd ever heard, Mr. Jones replied,
"Well, Johnny, you are only ten years old. Where will the two of you live?"
Without hesitation, Johnny replied, "In Susie's room, of course. It's much
larger than mine and we can both fit all our stuff in there very nicely."
"Ok then, Johnny," a grinning Mr. Jones said, "How will the two of you live?
You aren't old enough to get a job yet and you'll need to support Susie."
Again, Johnny quickly replied, "We have our allowances. Susie makes five
dollars a week and I make ten. That's about sixty dollars a month, so that
should do us just fine."
By this time, Mr. Jones realized that Johnny had put a great deal of thought
into his proposal. So, he thought for a moment, trying to come up with
something that Johnny wouldn't know how to answer.
After another moment, Mr. Jones said, "Johnny, it seems like you have
everything all figured out. I just have one more question for you. What will
you do if the two of you should happen to have little ones of your own?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Johnny replied, "Well, Mr. Jones, we've been lucky
so far..."
