Out Of The Mouths Of Babes

My SON-IN-LAW came home feeling very upset after having his beloved dog put to sleep by the vet. He shut himself in the kitchen so he could vent his emotions in private. Six-year-old Joe was told to leave his dad in peace for a while. ‘Okay,’ said Joe, and promptly burst into the kitchen, shouting: ‘Bad news, Dad, the dog is dead!’ C.
