CHILDHOOD INGENUITY
When Johnny arrived home from downtown with an ice cream in each hand, his mother queried, "Did you spend all of your allowance?"
"Nope, I didn't spend anything," he responded.
"Did someone buy the ice cream for you?"
The little boy shook his head.
"You didn't steal them, did you?"
"Oh, no, I wouldn't steal," said Johny. "I just put a chocolate cone in one hand, vanilla in the other. Then I told the clerk she could get the money from my pocket, but please be careful for Franky my pet frog."
