A little boy, just starting to learn to read, was with his mother in a large department store. He announced to her that he had to use the restroom. She pointed him in the right direction, and off he went.
After shopping around a bit, she returned to check on him, and found him standing outside of the doors to the restrooms. At first, she thought he had finished and was waiting for her. But then, she learned he had never gone inside.
“Why didn’t you go in?” his mother asked.
“I can’t go in there,” he replied. “You said to obey signs, and that sign says, ‘parents only’.”
His mother laughed, and told him the sign said, “PATRONS ONLY”.
“We are patrons,” she said. “You go ahead.”
