Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprimand the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday school teacher said:
— Johnny, when I was a little girl, I was told if that I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that.
Little Johnny looked up and replied:
— Well, Ms Smith, you can’t say you weren’t warned.
