Topic: Late again

[Den]

"Late again!" the third-grade teacher scolded little Timmy.

"It ain’t my fault this time, Miss Russell. You can blame my Daddy. The reason I’m three hours late is… my Daddy sleeps naked!" 😳

Miss Russell had been teaching for over 30 years, but against her better judgment, she asked what he meant.

With a big grin, Timmy said,

"Well, I ain’t gonna tell ya why Mama was naked, but she was smilin’ real big. See, out on our farm, we’ve got this sneaky fox that’s been eatin’ our hens. Six of ‘em, gone! 🦊🐓

Last night, Daddy heard a noise in the chicken pen. He grabbed his double-barrel shotgun and told Mama, ‘That fox is back—I’m gonna git him!’ He whispered for all us kids to stay back.

Now Daddy was naked as a jaybird—no boots, no pants, no shirt! He crawled to the henhouse like an Injun on the snoop, stuck that shotgun through the coop window, and stared into the dark.

But our old hound dog, Rip 🐕, woke up and snuck up behind him. And before anyone could stop him… Rip stuck his cold nose right in Daddy’s ass crease! ❄️🍑

Miss Russell… we been pluckin’ chickens since 3 o’clock this mornin’!"
