Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears. When the mother and the new baby came home from hospital Johnny's family was invited over to see the baby.
Before they left the house, little Johnny's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears. His dad also told him if he so much as mentioned anything about the baby's missing ears or even said the word ears he would get the smacking of his life when they got back home. Johhny told his dad he understood, and wouldn't say anything wrong.
When Johnny looked in the crib he said "What a beautiful baby."
The mother said, Why, thank you, Little Johnny."
Johhny said, "He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see?"
"Why, yes," the mother replied. "We are so thankful. The doctor said he will have 20/20 vision."
"Hey, that's great," said Johnny. "It'd be terrible if he needed glasses." [Reply]
