Little Johnny came downstairs bellowing lustily. His mother asked, "What`s the matter now?"
"Dad was hanging pictures, and just hit his thumb with a hammer," said Johnny through his tears.
"That`s not so serious," soothed his mother. "I know you`re upset, but a big boy like you shouldn`t cry at something like that. Why didn`t you just laugh?"
"I did!" sobbed Johnny.
