HE OBEYED ORDERS.
Ted was very much given to asking questions, which his mother did not always have the wisdom or inclination to answer. Ted also stuttered just enough to make what he said sound very funny. One day his mother, becoming weary of trying to answer his questions, said:
" Ted, don't you ask me another question for an hour."
