Ben’s father accompanied him to
his school end-of-year awards party.
As they sat watching amidst loud
ovations, the beneficiaries were called to the podium for their awards.
The following conversation ensued:
Announcer: Best student in sciences,
the winner is Christopher.
Father: (Applauds and eyes Ben
scornfully) See correct children!
Announcer: Best student in
commercial studies; the winner is Michael.
Father: (Hisses and eyes Ben) See
correct children.
Announcer: Best student in Arts and
the winner is Helen.
Father: (fuming with anger) See
correct children!!.
And so, all the awards were
presented without any going to Ben.
At the end of the event, they left
and went to the car park but as his dad got ready to start the car, the engine
refused to respond.
He opened the bonnet and touched a
few things but his efforts did not yield any response so they resorted to
pushing it. Just as they got to the exit of the school, the rickety car sparked
up.
Exhausted and profusely sweating, Ben rested on the gate just as his mates were driving off with their parents
in Hummer, Jeep, Sequia, Infinity,
Escalade, Bentley, Lincoln Navigator, Range Rover and other exotic cars.
All of a sudden, Ben burst into
laughter.
His puzzled father asked,’what’s so
funny?’
Amidst teary eyes, Ben responded,
‘SEE CORRECT FATHERS!’
