Too Humiliating.

A certain small boy of 6 is rapidly assuming manly ways. Not long ago his “room” at school planned an entertainment. There were to be little songs and recitations and a mysterious grabbag. The small boy waxed eloquent concerning the coming glories of this show, and more especially the part he would take. On the morning of the entertainment his mother suggested that he should take his little sister, aged 4, with him. He hun~ his head. Don’t you want to take her?” his mother asked. “No, I don’t he answered. “And why not?” The reply came quickly. “ ‘Cause there ain’t none of th’ other fellers has to bring their children!" —Cleveland Plain Dealer.
