Thrush

[Guest LB]

The teacher announces, "The topic of the day is describe your mother to

me as a bird, and tell me why." She leaves the kiddies for a short

while and then asks them their answers.

Kelly at the front goes first, "My Mummy's like a swan, because she's

white and elegant"

"Thank you Kelly" says teacher, and she continues going around the

class.

Bobby says "My Mummy's like a stork, cos she has babies and babies, and

I have 7 brothers and 3 sisters."

"Thank you Bobby." says the teacher, and continues with the other

students.

Finally there is no-one left but Little Johnny, so the teacher finally

asks him, "Johnny, what bird most resembles your mother?"

Little Johnny pipes up with "A thrush!"

The teacher, thinking she may finally have a decent answer asks,

"Why is that?"

Little Johnny replies, "Because she's an irritating cow!"
