The teacher told her students they would start their day with the Pledge of Allegiance, instructing them to place their right hand over their heart and repeat after her.
As she began to recite the Pledge, she looked around the room and noticed that Little Johnny hand his hand over the right cheek of his behind.
“Little Johnny,” she said, “we will not continue until you place your hand over your heart.”
“It is over my heart,” Little Johnny replied innocently.
She attempted to get Little Johnny to place his hand over his heart several times, all to no avail. Finally, frustrated, she asked, “What makes you think that’s your heart?”
“Well, whenever Grandma comes to visit,” Johnny explained, “she picks me up, gives me a couple of pats right here, and says, ‘Bless your little heart,’ and I know Grandma wouldn’t lie.”
