A mother took her daughter shopping for a witch outfit to wear at her school Halloween parade. They hunted in several shops for an important accessory, namely an old-fashioned straw broom with a crooked tree-branch handle. Finally, they found one that was just right. "See?" she said to my daughter, "This will be perfect for you to take to school."

The youngster eyed the broom for a moment and frowned. "Aw, Mom," she said, "can't you just drive me instead?"
