Little Johnny is lying in bed, busting to go to the toilet…
So, he gets out of bed, runs downstairs into the living room, and finds his mother chatting to a bunch of her friends.
“Mommy,” Johnny yells at the top of his voice, “I gotta pee! I gotta pee!”
Well, needless to say, the mother is mortified at her sonβs language in front of her guests and scolds the young boy.
“Johnny, we do NOT shout that word in this house!”
“Next time, just whisper, okay?”
Little Johnny nods sheepishly.
His mother takes him to the bathroom and tucks him back into bed.
The next night, little Johnny is busting to go to the toilet again…
So, he gets out of bed, runs downstairs into the living room, and there is his mother, having a glass of wine with her friends.
“Mommy! I gotta whisper, I gotta whisper!” he says.
His mother excuses herself and takes Johnny to the bathroom, smiling at her sonβs innocent mistake…
but relieved that he was at least more discreet than last time.
She then takes Johnny back upstairs and tucks him into bed.
“Well done, sweetie,” she says, kissing him goodnight, “That was much more polite.”
A few nights go by, and low and behold, little Johnny is busting to go to the toilet again.
So, he gets out of bed, runs downstairs into the living room, and there is his dad watching TV.
“Daddy!”, Johnny says softly, “I gotta whisper, I gotta whisper!”
“Aw, is that so, little buddy?” says his dad, his eyes fixed on the television.
“Come on over here… “
“and whisper in daddyβs ear.”
