When Little Johnny walked through the door after school, his father immediately noticed the look on his face — that classic mix of guilt and confusion that only meant one thing.
“I got an F in arithmetic,” Johnny muttered.
His father blinked. “Why? What happened?”
Johnny sighed dramatically, as if the entire universe had failed him.
“Well, the teacher asked me, ‘How much is 2×3?’ I said ‘6.’”
His father nodded. “But that’s correct.”
“I know,” Johnny replied. “But then she asked me, ‘How much is 3×2?’”
His dad scratched his head. “It’s still 6.”
“That’s what I said!” Johnny cried. “But then she asked, ‘What’s the difference?’ And I told her—”
Johnny paused for effect, shoulders slumping.
“—‘That’s what I’m trying to figure out!’”
His father covered his face.
No wonder he got the F.
The joke spread quickly online, proving once again that Little Johnny’s legendary logic never fails to deliver.
