A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids ..
"WOW,"
the social worker exclaims,"are they ALL YOURS???"
"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard that
question a thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Leroy."
All the children rush to find seats.
"Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here to sign up. I'll
need all your children's names."
"This one's my oldest - he is Leroy." "OK, and who's next?" "Well,
this
one he is Leroy, also."
The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through
the
oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to
the eldest girl, named Leighroy! "All right," says the caseworker. "I'm
seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?"
Their Momma replied, "Well, yes-it makes it easier. When it is time to
get
them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!'
'An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all comes
a
runnin.
'An' if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just
yell
'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, namin'
them all Leroy."
The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead
and
says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not
the
whole bunch?"
"I call them by their last names."
