Little Johnny’s neighbor had a baby. Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears. When mother and new baby came home from the hospital, Johnny’s family was invited over to see the baby.
Before they left their house, Little Johnny’s dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears. His dad also told him that if he so much mentioned anything about the baby’s missing ears or even said the word ears, he would get the smacking of his life when they came back home.
Little Johnny told his dad he understood completely.
When Johnny looked in the crib, he said, “What a beautiful baby.”
The mother said, “Why, thank you, Johnny.”
Johnny said, “He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see alright?”
“Yes,” the mother replied, “We are so thankful; the doctor said he will have perfect vision.”
“That’s great,” said Little Johnny, “Coz he’d be in trouble if he needed glasses.”
