Little Willie questioned his grandmother with an appearance of great

seriousness:



"Ain't Rotterdam the name of a city, Gramma?"



"Don't say 'ain't', Willie," the old lady corrected. "Yes, Rotterdam is

the name of a city. Why?"



"It ain't swearin' to say it, is it Gramma?"



"Don't say 'ain't', Willie. No, it isn't swearing to say Rotterdam.

Why?"



"Cause if sister keeps on eatin' so much candy, she'll Rotterdam head

off."
