His Sister Missed Her period

Little Johnny's class had returned from their summer vacation.

Everybody in the class had to go up to the chalk board to draw

a picture to describe their summer. The first to go was Mindy.

She drew a sail boat on the water and said, "This summer me and

my family rented a boat and sailed all around Newfoundland." The

teacher said, "That is very nice." Next, Little Julie went up to

the board and drew a beach and a big sun. Julie said, "My family

and I went to the beach for the summer." The teacher said that

it must have been fun. Next, it was Little Johnny's turn, so he

approached the board and drew a dot on the board. The teacher

said, "What is that Johnny? Is it a dot or a ball, or what?"

Little Johnny said, "No, that's a period, my sister missed hers

this summer and that's why we didn't have a summer vacation.
