“A pile of old papers! He said he was glad to finally get rid of that crap.”
There is a brief silence.
Then mom starts laughing.
Dad sighs in relief and says:
“Next time I’ll tell you right away who’s coming over.”
The girl looks from her father to her mother in surprise.
“Why are you looking so weird? I just told you what happened, right?”
And that’s exactly why mom and dad decided one thing from that day on:
When a child tells a story, you always have to wait until the whole story is over.
THE END.
