Little Johnny, a mischievous youngster, had a cunning plan in mind. He approached his mother with a request for 20 pounds. Intrigued, his mother inquired about the reason behind his sudden need for money. Little Johnny replied with a mischievous grin, “If you give me the money, I’ll reveal what dad said to the maid while you were at the beauty shop.”
His mother’s curiosity piqued, she couldn’t resist finding out what her husband had said. Without wasting a moment, she rummaged through her purse and handed over the money to Little Johnny. Eagerly, she asked, “Well, what did he say?”
Little Johnny chuckled and divulged the secret, “He told the maid, ‘Hey, Marie, make sure you wash all my socks tomorrow. All of them are filthy.’”
Little Johnny’s playful wit had successfully extracted 20 pounds from his mother’s purse.
