So, where IS the pencil?

Excerpts from "Just Thoughts of a Plain Country Woman"  March 17, 1949

Kids have their own type of "logic" and . . . sometimes, you just have to laugh!

"All of the pupils were ready to begin with a written test. "Where's
your pencil, Jack?" asked the teacher.

"I ain't got one," replied Jack.

"How many times have I told you not to say 'ain't'? Listen: I haven't

one, you haven't one, we haven't one, they haven't one."

"Well," said Jack, "where are all the pencils?" -Ronald McCaskell.
