LAUGH A LITTLE

PARENTAL RULES

A primary-school teacher, wanting to point out proper behaviour, is asking the class for rules their parents might give them before taking them to a nice restaurant.

“Don’t play with your food,” one says.

“Don’t be loud,” another says.

“And what rule do your parents give you before you go out to eat?” the teacher asks Little Leroy.

Without batting an eyelid, Little Leroy says, “Order something cheap.”
