A FIRST-GRADE teacher asked her lively charges to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. “Stand and face the flag and place your hand over your heart,” she instructed.
Little Susie stood up but put her hand on her backside. “Susie,” the teacher said, “you are supposed to put your hand over your heart.”
“But I am,” Susie protested.
“No,” the teacher replied, “you heart is in your chest, not back there.”
“No it’s not,” Susie explained. “When my grandma comes to my house, she pats me back there and says, ‘Bless your little heart.’”
