Little Johnny was at home doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a ***** is seven. Three plus six, that son of a ***** is nine."
In that moment, his mother comes in and hears what he is saying. "Johnny, what are you doing?! Why are you saying that?!"
Little Johnny answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom." She said, "And is that what your teacher taught you?"
Little Johnny replied, "Yes."
The next day, the mother, worried about the education her son is receiving, goes to Little Johnny's school to talk to the teacher. The mother said to his math teacher, "I would like to know what you are teaching my son in math?" The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition problems." Little Johnny's mother asked, "And . . are you teaching them to say, 'Two plus two, that son of a ***** is four'?" When the teacher stopped laughing she replied, "Not at all! . . .
What I taught them was, 'Two plus two...THE SUM OF WHICH IS...four'."
