Johnny was in the playground with his friend Jimmy when he
noticed the
brand new shiny watch Jimmy was wearing. "Did you get that for
your
birthday?" he asked.
"Nope," Jimmy replied.
"Well, did you get it for Christmas then?" Johnny asked.
Nope."
You didn't steal it did you?" "
No," said Jimmy. "I went into Mom and Dad's bedroom the other
night
when they were on the job. Dad gave me his watch to get rid of
me."
Johnny was extremely impressed with this idea, and extremely
jealous of
Jimmy's new watch. He vowed to get one for himself. That night
he
waited outside his parents' room until he heard the
unmistakable
creaking of the bed springs. Johnny swung the door wide open and
boldly
strode into the bedroom. His father, caught in mid stroke, turned
and
asked him angrily, "What do you want now?"
"I wanna watch," Johnny replied.
"Well, stand in the corner and keep quiet then," said his
father
