Miss White was happy and asked, “How many people are there in your family, Jim?” Jim stood up and said, “Two, Miss White.” “Who are they?” “My father and my mother.” “Oh?” Miss White was very surprised. She then said, “There are three people in your family.” “But now I’m not at home. I’m at school, you know!”
