Johnny's Heart Little Johnny started school looked forward to the day when he would meet new friends and join them in their play. The teachers seated all of them, said, "Stand and face the way we'll pledge allegiance to the flag-- that's how we start our day." "Place your right hand on your heart, repeat right after me, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag." Saw Johnny didn't agree. His hand was across his buttock not hidden, in plain view. The teacher said, "Now Johnny Put your hand on your heart , too." "It's on my heart," said Johnny. The teacher didn't agree. "Do you think your heart is there? Now you just answer me." The teacher was befuddled. Johnny looked her in the eye, "My Grandma really loves me, I know she wouldn't lie!" "And when she comes to visit She pats me on the rear says, 'Bless your little heart' and puts her hand right here!" ....Grace Cleys in the Keen Ager News
