For a girl child of four years old, studying in Nursery, a lady tutor was appointed. Both the parents of the child were working and when the tutor comes only the maid and child are there.

On this day there was an official holiday due to Eid and both the parents were home. The tutor finished her teachimg and was departing when the child’s mother said to the child ,” Say bye bye to miss. Plant a kiss on her cheek. She takes care of you so well.”

Against her wish, the child said a emotionless bye bye to her tutor and then said,” But I will not kiss her.”

Her mother was stumped and asked ,” Why ?”

The child replied,” If I kiss her she will slap me.”

Mother asked,” Why should she slap you ? You are weird.”

The child’s repartee,” Some time back, father did kiss her. She slapped my father.”
