Declaration of Guilt

There was one little boy in the teacher's class who really struggled to learn.

One day the teacher asked him who signed the Declaration of Independence, and of course he didn't know.

The teacher asked him every day for a week but still he couldn’t give the right answer.

Finally, in desperation, she called the boy’s father to come and see her. She said to him, "Your boy won’t tell me who signed the Declaration of Independence."

The father said to his son, "Come here, boy, and sit down."

The boy duly did as he was told and then his dad said to him, "Now if you signed that stupid thing, just admit it so we can get out of here."


How Many States Can You Name?

Father William, the old priest, made it a practice to visit the parish school one day a week.

He walked into the 4th grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name.

They came up with about 40 names. 

Father William jokingly told them that in his day students knew the names of all the states.

One lad raised his hand and said, 'Yes sir, but in those days there were only 13 states.
