A divorced woman with a ten-year-old son married a man who didn’t seem to like children too much. She had to be away for a week on a business trip, which meant that the boy would be alone with the man, and she was worried about a conflict. On her return, she asked the boy, “How did you get along with your new step-father?” “Great!” said the kid. “It was wonderful! Every day he took me swimming, out to the middle of the lake and I swam back.” “Isn’t that a long way to swim for a boy your age?” “Oh no,” said the boy. “The only hard part was getting out of the bag!”
