Teacher saw the kids playing with little Johnny. They held out their hands and Johnny would take something. She went over and inquired what was going on. "Watch this." one boy said. He opened his hand and told Johnny to chose from the nickel or the dime he offered. Johnny reached over and selected the nickel. Later the teacher confronted Johnny "why did you get the nickel? Is it because it's bigger?" "Nope" Johnny answered." But if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it!"
