It was a warm Friday afternoon toward the end of the school year when Miss Adams said to her third-grade class “Give me your attentions, girls and boys. I’m going to write some quotations on the board and the first person who can tell me who said each one may leave early today.”
She wrote “Give me liberty or give…” Before she could finish the phrase, little Tiffany shouted “Patrick Henry”.
“Very good, Tiffany”, smiled Miss Adams. “You may leave.”
She began to write “Ask not what your country…” but little Tracy shouted “John F. Kennedy”.
“Very good, Tracy”, said Miss Adams, “have a nice weekend.”
She began to write another quotation on the board when little Eddie, who had known both answers but had been beaten out by his female classmates, said aloud “I wish these girls would keep their big mouths shut!”.
Miss Adams whirled around angrily and shouted, “Who said that?”
“Bill Clinton,” said little Eddie. “See ya Monday.”
