JOKE OF THE DAY

A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later, he calls out: "Da-ad!"

"What?" his father asks.

"I'm thirsty,” the boy says. “Can you bring me a glass of water?"

"No,” his father replies. “You had your chance. Lights out."

Five minutes pass, and the little boy calls out for his father again.

"What?" his father shouts.

"I'm thirsty,” the boy says. “Can I have a glass of water?"

"I told you no!” the father sternly replies. “If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!"

Five minute pass, and the little boy calls out for his father again.

"What?" his father asks.
