Little Mollie was reading the family record book', containing the full names and birth dates of each member of the family. Finally she came to her own. She gave a cry of amazement and exclaimed : “Why, daddy, [ was born on my birthday.'’’ A little boy who went to school for the first time had returned home, and his father inquired how ho liked it. Its all right, but they ask too many questions,” said the lad. “First they asked me where you were born, and I told them. Then they asked me where mother was born, and I told them. But when they asked me where I was born I had to tell a lie.” "Why?" asked his father. "I didn’t, want to say I was born in the Women’s Hospital and have them think I was a sissy, so I told them it was the Wembley Stadium.”
