Little Tommy (who is Jewish) was doing very badly in math. His parents
had tried everything: tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning
centers, in short, everything they could think of. Finally, in a
last-ditch effort,
they took Tommy down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on
his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went
straight to
his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over
the
room and little Tommy was hard at work.
His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner and to her shock,
the minute he was done he marched back to his room without a word and in
no
time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for
some
time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what made all
the
difference.
Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly laid it
on the table and went up to his room and hit the books.
With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her
surprise!!!!!!!!, little Tommy got an "A" in math. She could no longer
hold her curiosity.
She went to his room and said: "Son, whaaaat was it?
Was it the
nuns??" Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, no.
"Well, then," she replied, "was it the books, the discipline, the
structure, the uniforms?
WHHHHAAAATTTT was it?
"
Little Tommy looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day of school,
when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling
around."
IT STILL ADDS UP TO JESUS
