The neighbor's son
Mr. and Mrs. Perry had four children. One evening, Mrs. Perry went out, and Mr. Perry stayed at home with the children. They were upstairs in their bedrooms. Mr. Perry read his newspaper for half an hour, and then he heard someone on the stairs.
'Go up to your bedroom and stay there!' he shouted.
A few minutes later, he again heard someone on the stairs.
'Go upstairs, or I'm going to come and spank you!' he said angrily.
This happened again, and then someone knocked at the front door.
Mr. Perry went to it. One of his neighbours was there.
'Is my small son here?' he said to Mr. Perry.
'Yes, I'm here,' someone answered from upstairs, 'but Mr. Perry always stops me going home.'
