Have a laugh (teachers may empathise)

Methodist lay preacher asked to help out at a local school, so-taking an RI class of 11 year old boys, decides to discuss conscience.
"Hands up those who have shoplifted." Most hands raised.
"Hands up those who thought about shoplifting but changed their minds." One boy raises an arm
"Come to the front and tell us what you were going to steal."
"A model glider kit, Sir."
"And what made you change your mind?"
"Couldn't reach it, Sir."

It isn't just the children. I once had a mother at 'Open evening' explaining (complaining) why her little boy had not done as well this term as she had hoped - one of the legs of his chair, she said, was slightly shorter than the other three.

That story is a joke in more ways than one.
Any class full of kids I've met wouldn't admit to a thing!
