Little Johnny is talking to his mother.
J: How come you always make me do things I don't want to?
M: What do you mean?
J: Well, for instance, you always force me to eat steaks, pork chops and chicken, day in and day out.
M: Ok. What do you want?
J: All I want is vegetables and fruit from now on.
M: What's wrong with you? Are you sick?
J: No, but I want to go on a diet.
M: Why?
J: Everyone's calling me Fatty at school.
M: Oh… I get it now.
