A primary teacher wanted to provide understanding of aphorism to her class.
So, she asked the kids to provide examples of good ideas they had learned from Mom, Dad, Gramps, Granma and their Aunts and Uncles.
"Delia, Dear: What would you tell us?"
Little Delia, a farmer;s daughter said: "One day Dad and Mom said we'd go to market and I took some eggs, all together in a basket and the truck went over a big bump and half of the eggs were broken!"
"And my Dad said "There you see! Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very well done, Darling!" said the teacher.
"And now you, Sarah."
Sarah who was also a farmer's daughter said, "I raise chickens as part of my chores; and I told my Pop I would have 25 this year, take them to market and be able to buy the doll I wanted!"
"But the eggs only gave me 10: and my old Gramps said to me, "Don't count yer chickens before they are hatched!"
"Excellent, Dear!" said the teacher.
And then, rather tongue in cheek she pointed at little Buster; "So Buster, have you any good ideas from your family for the class?"
Buster thought for a bit and said.
"Well, Ma'am My Dad's sister, Auntie Sharon was the first woman to join Delta Force. When she was flying on a mission over Iraq, her plane was hit by a rocket and she decided her time was up, grabbed a bottle of whiskey, a parachute, an M16 and a box of bullets. She drank the whole bottle on the way down!"
"As she landed she was surrounded by ragheads! She shot as many as possible, but they still rushed towards her!"
"Those that were left, she killed with the bottle!"
"How very violent and unpleasant, Buster: but what is the good saying about this?"
"Don't y'all mess with Auntie Sharon when she's been drinking, Ma'am!"
