IT'S TOO………
Niclau and Netty had a ten year old son (Nelito) who was very mischievous with
so many complains from his school and neighbors. Niclau was trying his best to
teach his only son the discipline and manners.
One fine day, while having lunch on dinning table:
Nelito: Dad, are caterpillars good to eat
Niclau: (angrily) Have I not told you, never to mention such things during
meals?
Nelito: Sorry Dad!
After few moments:
Netty: What made you to say that son?
Nelito: Mom, I said… I am sorry!
Niclau: Why did you ask that question? and that too while having our lunch?
Nelito: It's because I saw two caterpillars crawling on Dad's lettuce,
Niclau: What….? Where is it?
Nelito: Now it's too late Dad, it's gone.
Niclau: Gone? Gone…… where??
Nelito: In your stomach Dad!
Niclau runs to wash room…
Niclau: Vuuuuak……. Hak……. Tuuuuuuuu.
