대답 못해도 되는 질문

Mother: “Johnny, why are you home from school so early?”

Little Johnny: “I was the only one who could answer a question.”

Mother: “Oh, really? What was the question?”

Little Johnny: It was “Who threw the eraser at the teacher?”.

엄마: 쟈니야, 왜 이렇게 학교에서 일찍 왔니?

어린 쟈니: 질문에 저 혼자만 대답을 할 수 있었거든요.

엄마: 정말 그랬어? 그 질문이 뭐였는데?

어린 쟈니: 그건 “누가 선생님한테 지우개를 던졌어?”였어요.
