A Too Common Attitude.

A small girl who had just begun to attend school recently brought home a pumpkin seed, and told her mother that the teacher said that although the seed was white, the pumpkin would be yellow. .“And what will the color of the vines be?” asked the mother. The little girl replied that the teacher had not taught her that. “Bat,” said her mother, “you know, dear, for we have pumpkin vines in our garden.” “Of course I do, bat we ain’t expected to know anything until we are taught.”
