All Named Leeroy


Recommended Posts

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids...

WOW," the social worker exclaims,"are they ALL YOURS???" "Yep they are

all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a

thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Leroy."

All the children rush to find seats.

"Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here to

sign up. I'll need all your children's names."

"This one's my oldest - he is Leroy."

"OK, and who's next?"

"Well, this one he is Leroy, also." The social worker raises an eyebrow

but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named

Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy!

"All right," says the caseworker. "I'm seeing a pattern here. Are they

ALL named Leroy?"

Their Momma replied, "Well, yes - It makes it easier. When

it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!'

"An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all come

a runnin.'

"An' if I need to stop the kid who's running into the

street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever

had, namin' them all Leroy."

The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles

her forehead and says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to

come, and not the whole bunch?"

"That's easy, I just call them by their last names."
