RAISING KIDS

SANDY AND NORMAN WERE IN DESPAIR.

THEIR 3 YEAR OLD SON TIMMY

STILL HAD NOT LEARNED HOW TO TALK.

NOT A WORD HAD ESCAPED THROUGH

THOSE NOW 3 YEAR OLD LIPS.

ONE NIGHT AT DINNER,

TIMMY TOOK A TASTE OF HIS PIE

AND TO THEIR UTTER SURPRISE

AND AMAZEMENT, SAID:

“YOU CALL THIS PIE?

IT TASTES LIKE SOME TASTELESS MUSH!”.

SANDY AND NORMAN SAT THERE IN SHOCK,

FOR THIS WAS NOT JUST THEIR SON’S

FIRST SENTENCE, BUT THE FIRST WORDS

HE EVER UTTERED!

ONCE THE INITIAL SHOCK HAD SUBSIDED,

NORMAN ASKED

“TELL ME TIMMY,

HOW COME YOU NEVER SPOKE UNTIL NOW?”

“I NEVER HAD ANY REASON TO”

EXPLAINED TIMMY.

“EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS FINE.”
