My Heart

Johnny was at his first day of school.  The teacher advised the class to start the day with the pledge of allegiance, and instructed them to put their right hands over their hearts and repeat after him.

He looked around the room as he started the recitation, “I pledge allegiance to the flag…”  When his eyes fell on Johnny, he noticed Johnny’s hand over the right cheek of his buttocks.

“Johnny, I will not continue till you put you hand over your heart.”

Johnny replied, “It is over my heart.”

After several attempts to get Johnny to put his hand over his heart, the teacher asked, “Why do you think that is your heart?”

“Because every time my Grandma comes to visit, she picks me up, pats me here, and says, ‘Bless your little heart,’ and my Grandma wouldn’t lie.”
