A Glass of Water

There have been a few children I’ve known that just might come up with something like the small boy in this joke. Of course, it isn’t something sweet little innocent me would ever dream of saying.

A Glass of Water

A small boy is sent to bed by his father.

Five minutes later….”Da-ad….”

“What?”

“I’m thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?”

“No. You had your chance. Lights out.”

Five minutes later:”Da-aaaad…..”

“WHAT?”

“I’m THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??”

“I told you NO!” If you ask again, I’ll have to spank you!!”

Five minutes later……”Daaaa-aaaad…..”

“WHAT!”

“When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?”

  1. Haha! I’ve known a few like that too. But, like you, I was always far too ‘sweet and innocent’ myself. ;)
