Straining the tea
Little Billy was left to fix lunch and his mum asked for green tea before she went out. When his mother returned with a friend, she noticed that Billy had already strained the tea.
“Did you find the tea strainer?” His mother asked.
“No mother, I couldn’t find it, so I used the fly swatter.”
His mother nearly fainted, so he hastily added, “Don’t get so excited Mother, I used an old one.”
