The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which one should have the present. “Who is the most obedient?” he asked. “Who never talks back to mother?

Father: What happened to your results? Son: Our teacher told me that I have to sit in the same class for one more year. Father: Doesn’t matter if you sit for two or three years in the same class but you must not fail in the exams. **** Father: See my son, when I was 15 years old , I used to get monthly commodities like milk, vegetables and fruits all for Rs10.

Father: What do you mean? Son: All below ‘C’ level. ****
