A boy comes back from school
A boy came home from school looking upset.
“I got a zero on my geography test,” he said.
His mother turned around immediately.
“A zero? For what?”
“The teacher asked me where Portugal is… and I didn’t know.”
She frowned.
“That’s ridiculous. What kind of question is that?”
She marched over, grabbed a map of the state, and spread it on the table.
“Let’s find it.”
They looked. Nothing.
She grabbed a regional map.
Still nothing.
Now slightly annoyed, she pulled out a city map.
They searched every corner.
Nothing.
She crossed her arms, shaking her head.
“This is unbelievable. Portugal can’t be far.”
The boy looked confused.
“Why do you say that?”
She replied, completely serious:
“Because the maid is from Portugal… and she comes here every single day on her bicycle.”
Pause.
She looked back at the map, then added:
“…Your teacher just doesn’t know how to explain things properly.” 😌
