Dear Diary,

Some kids are just a bit smarter than the grown-ups. Little Tyrone comes to mind when he was:

At School

When Little Tyrone's kindergarten class went on a field trip to their local police station they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. "Yes," said the policeman. "The detectives want very badly to capture him." Little Tyrone asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?" [Makes sense to us!]

A couple years later the teacher saw that little Tyrone wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, "Tyrone ! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?" Little Tyrone quickly replied, "NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!"  [Little Tyrone pays attention to the important things in his life - as he sees it.  ^.^ ]

When a new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses, she started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!" After a few seconds, Little Tyrone stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Tyrone ?" "No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!" [Could this qualify as no teacher left behind?]

At Home

Little Tyrone watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. "Why do you do that, mommy?" he asked. "To make myself beautiful," said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue. "What's the matter?" asked Little Tyrone. "Giving up?"  [Uh, oh! Not so smart, Tyrone.]

We hope this brightened your day as much as it did ours.
