Everything We Need

A young teacher was trying to teach her six-year-old charges about sharing. In the midst of doing so, she said that no one had everything they wanted. At this point, a young arm was energetically pumping at the back of the class. She tried to ignore him, but little Johnny started saying, "oh miss, oh miss!" with his arm pumping.

- Yes, Johnny, what is it? - she asked, trying to remain calm. Little Johnny stood up and proclaimed to the class:

- at our house, we have everything.

- Don't be silly - the teacher replied.

- not even the richest man has everything.

- We do - he answered.

- My daddy said so the other day.

- Now, why would your father say such a thing? - she asked.

- Well, my fifteen year old sister came home with her skinhead boyfriend, and told poppa she was pregnant. That's when my dad said "God, that's all we needed."
