When Little Johnny was about to graduate from high school,
He was asked to give a speech to his fellow graduating classmates.
To avoid getting off track or saying something inappropriate, as he was known for, he had index cards with his speech on them in his hand.
He got on the stage, took a look at the first index card, then at his classmates and began his speech.
“Fellow graduates, I want to talk about my mother and the wonderful influence she has had on my life,” he told the audience.
“She is a shining example of parenthood, and I love her more than words could ever do justice.”
At this point, he seemed to struggle for words.
After a pause, he looked up with a sly grin and said,
“Sorry, but it’s really hard to read my mother’s handwriting.”
