It's Monday morning, and Little Johnny is late for school again... As he finally trudges into the classroom a half-hour late, he attempts to make it to his seat unnoticed. The teacher, Ms. Thompson, glances at the clock and then at Johnny, raising an eyebrow... "Johnny, you're late again. What happened THIS time?" Johnny, still panting, begins to explain with a dramatic sigh, "Oh, Ms. Thompson, it was terrible... " "I left home with plenty of time to get here on schedule... " "But the sidewalks were so slippery from the rain that every step I took, I slipped two steps backward!" Ms. Thompson gives him a skeptical look, "Really, Johnny? That sounds like quite an adventure... " "But if you were slipping backward more than you were moving forward, how did you manage to get here at all?" Undeterred, Little Johnny confidently replies, "Well, Ms. Thompson... " "After struggling for twenty minutes and realizing I wasn't getting anywhere... " "I decided to head back home."
