1.A Small Surprise
When his wife was expecting their third child, a father decided to tell his two sons, ages seven and nine, the facts of life. He checked out several books from the library on how parents should approach the subject. After stumbling through an explanation, he took a deep breath, and said, “Now, boys, do you have any questions?”
“Yes,” the younger boy answered immediately.
“Go ahead,” said the man, his heart in his throat.
“Can we,” his son asked, “have new baseball gloves?”
