28. Going on a Diet

Little Johnny is talking to his mother.

J: How come you always make me do things I don’t want to?

M: What do you mean?

J: Well, for instance, you always force me to eat steaks, pork chops and chicken, day in and day out.

M: OK. What do you want?

J: All I want is vegetables and fruit from now on.

M: What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?

J: No, but I want to go on a diet.

M: Why?

J: Everyone’s calling me Fatty at school.

M: Oh… I get it now.
