"Expected Baby"

For weeks a six-year old lad kept telling
his first-grade teacher about the baby
brother or sister that was expected at his
house.

One day the mother allowed the boy to
feel the movements of the unborn child.
The six-year old was obviously impressed,
but made no comment. Furthermore, he
stopped telling his teacher about the impending
event.

The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and
said, "Tommy, whatever has become of that
baby brother or sister you were expecting at
home?"

Tommy burst into tears and confessed,
"I think Mommy ate it!"
