Tommy and Math
Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried
everything; tutors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short,
everything they could think of. Finally in a last ditch effort, they
took Tommy down & enrolled him in the local Catholic School.
After the first day, little Tommy comes home with a very serious
look on his face. He doesn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he goes
straight to his room & starts studying.
Books & papers are spread out all over the room and little Tommy is
hard at work. His mother is amazed. She calls him down to dinner and
to her shock, the minute he is done he marches back to his room
without a word and in no time he is back hitting the books as hard
as before. This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother
tries to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Tommy brings home his report card. He quietly lays
it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the books. With
great trepidation, his mom looks at it and to her surprise, little
Tommy got an A in math. She can no longer hold her curiosity. She
goes to his room and says: “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?”
Little Tommy looks at her and shakes his head. “Well, then,” she
replies, “was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the
uniforms, WHAT was it?” Little Tommy looks at her and says, “Well,
on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus
sign, I knew they weren’t fooling around.” Click here for more Adult
