One Sunday morning after church, little Maurys family invited the priest to breakfast at their home. His mother asked little Maury what he would like for his breakfast and he replied, I want a lightbulb.

Everyone laughed.

The priest was warmly touched by Maurys funny remark.

Very funny little Maury, said Mom. Now tell me what you want to eat.

I wanna lightbulb, said little Maury.

Mom felt a little irritated with Maury behaving this way in front of their guest. She said sternly, Enough of that, now what do you want to eat?

I wanna lightbulb, Mommy, little Maury said once more.

Mom had enough and said, Now you can go to your room!

The good priest felt he should intervene. Now little Maury, tell us why you want a lightbulb for breakfast.

Maury replied, Well, last night when I went to bed I heard Daddy say to Mommy, Honey, turn out the light and Ill eat that thing.
