Reading edition
A lady living in Ohio is the mother of six boys. One day a friend called on her, and during the conversation said: “What a pity that one of your boys had not been a girl.” One of the boys, about eight years old, overheard the remark, and promptly interposed, “I’d like to know who’d ’a’ bin ’er. Ed wouldn’t ’a’ bin ’er, Joe wouldn’t ’a’ bin ’er, Pete wouldn’t ‘a’ bin ’er, I wouldn’t ’a’ bin ’er, blame ef I would, an’ I’d like to know who’d ’a’ bin ’er?”
