Syllables

[Purrde Flower]

The first grade teacher was starting a new lesson on multi-
syllable words. She thought it would be a good idea to ask
a few of the children for their examples of words with more
than one syllable.

Jane and Little Johnny were the first to raise their hands.
Knowing that Little Johnny was a little more mature in the
ways of life, she called on Jane. "Jane, what is your multi-
syllable word?"

After some further thought Jane proudly replied, "Monday."

"Great Jane. That has two syllables, Mon......day." "Does
anyone else know any other multi-syllable words."

"I do! I do!" replied Little Johnny.

Knowing Johnny's mischievous ways the teacher picks Mike
instead. "OK Mike, what is your word."

"Saturday." says Mike. "Great, that has three syllables..."

Not wanting to be outdone Johnny says "I know a four syllable
word. Pick me! Pick me!"

Not thinking he can do any harm with a word that large the
teacher reluctantly says, "O.K. Johnny what is your four
syllable word?"

Johnny proudly says, "Mas...tur...ba...tion."

Shocked and trying to retain her composure the teacher says,
"Wow Johnny, Four syllables! That's certainly is a mouthful."

"No Ma'am, your thinking 'Blow-Job', and that's only two
syllables."
