Overconfidence !!!

It was the end of the school year, and a kindergarten teacher was

receiving gifts from her pupils.

The florist's son handed her a gift. She shook it, held it overhead, and

said, "I bet I know what it is. Flowers." "That's right!" the boy said,

"But, how did you know?" "Oh, just a wild guess," she said.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owner's daughter. The teacher held her

gift overhead, shook it, and said, "I bet I can guess what it is. A box of

sweets."

"That's right, but how did you know?" asked the girl. "Oh, just a wild

guess," said the teacher.

The next gift was from the son of the liquor storeowner. The teacher held

the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the

leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. "Is it wine?" she asked.

"No," the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the

process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. "Is it champagne?" she

asked.

"No," the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big

taste before declaring, "I give up, what is it?"

With great glee, the boy replied, "It's a puppy!"
