A little boy who went to school for the first time had returned home and his father inquired how he liked it. “It’s all right, but they ask too many questions,” said the lad. “First they asked me where you were born aud 1 cold them. Then they asked where mother was born and I told them. But when they asked me where I was born I had to tell a lie.” “Why?” asked his father. “I didn't want to say I was born in the Women’s Hospital and have them think 1 was a sissy, so I told them it was in tho Wembley Stadium.”
