Little Billy walked into the master bedroom and his mother was there without clothes.
“Mum, what is that hairy thing between your legs?” asked Billy.

Billy nodded his head and went out of the room.

A few days later, Billy came home with his classmate, Johnny. “Mum, can you show Johnny your pet beaver?”
The quick-witted mother responded, “Oh, I’m so sorry to disappoint both of you but I lost the beaver some time ago. Why don’t you both go upstairs to play with the toys while I make lemonade for you?”
“Ok, thank you mum.”

The mother raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“It is with grandma.” Billy continued.
“But I think it is dead. It got it’s tongue dangling out.”
