One day in Language Arts class the children were called to make sentences with words chosen by the teacher.

The teacher smiled when Little Johnny raised his hand to participate during the challenge of making a sentence with the words: “Defeat,” “Defence,” “Deduct,” and “Detail.”

Little Johnny stood, thinking for a while, all eyes focused on him while his classmates awaited his reply.

Smiling, he then proudly shouted out, “Defeat of deduct went over defence before detail.”

Johnny had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer.

“Fine”, said the pleased mother. “If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.”

“Oh, I didn’t ask Him to help me not misbehave,” said Johnny. “I asked Him to help you put up with me.”

Little Johnny wanted to be an accountant, so he went for an aptitude test:

Mr. Proctor: If I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?

Little Johnny : SEVEN!

Mr. Proctor: No, listen carefully again. If I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits, and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?

Little Johnny : SEVEN!

Mr. Proctor: Let’s try this another way. If I give you two bottles of pop, and two bottles of pop, and another two bottles of pop, how many bottles of beer have you got?

Little Johnny : SIX.

Mr. Proctor: Good! Now, if I give you two Rabbits, and two rabbits,and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got?

Little Johnny : SEVEN!

Mr. Proctor: How on Earth do you work out that three lots of two rabbits is seven?

Little Johnny : I’ve already got one rabbit at home!
