The mother had the tough job of telling her daughter, who had just returned from school, that her dog Paddy had died. The daughter said OK and went out to play.

An hour later she came into the house and asked where Paddy was. I told you that Paddy died the mother said.

At this the girl started to cry bitterly.

Why are you crying now, and when I told you before, you didnt cry?, the mother asked.

Paddy!!, the girl responded, I thought you said Daddy!
