Poor Dad.

The umpire’s young son and heir applied for -free admission on the grounds that he wanted to see father “partic’lar.” He made his way to the wicket in the middle of an over, despite the ten-horse frowns of his official sire. “Mother says she wants that packet of sandwiches back,” he said. “Sandwiches back I ate ’em an hour ago,” replied the surprised parent. “Then she’ll have to clean your shoes with salmon and shrimp paste,”returned the youngster. “Mother put the brown boot polish on the sandwiches.” —Tit-Bits.
