Little Johnny was left to fix lunch.

When his mother returned with a friend, she noticed that Johnny had already strained the tea.

So the two women sipped their tea happily while having lunch and chit-chatted.

Afterwards, when her friend had left, Little Johnny's mother talked to him.

"Was it hard finding the tea strainer in the kitchen?" his mother asked.

"Ma, I couldn't find it, so I used the fly swatter." replied Johnny.

His mother nearly fainted, so Johnny hastily added, "Don't get excited, Ma, I used the old one!"
