SALLY'S REPORT CARD

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SALLY

BROUGHT HER REPORT CARD

HOME FROM SCHOOL.

HER MARKS WERE GOOD

MOSTLY A’S AND A COUPLE OF B’S. 

HOWEVER, HER TEACHER

HAD WRITTEN ACROSS THE BOTTOM: 

SALLY IS A SMART LITTLE GIRL,

BUT SHE HAS ONE FAULT.

SHE TALKS TOO MUCH IN SCHOOL.

I HAVE AN IDEA I AM GOING TO TRY,

WHICH I THINK MAY BREAK

HER OF THE HABIT. 

SALLY’S DAD SIGNED HER

REPORT CARD,

PUTTING A NOTE ON THE BACK: 

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

IF YOUR IDEA WORKS ON SALLY

BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO

TRY IT OUT ON HER MOTHER.
