A woman, on meeting a psychologist at a party, made a pitch for some free
professional advice. “What kind of toy would you suggest giving a little boy on his
third birthday?” she asked. “First I’d have to know more about the child,” the
psychologist hedged. The woman took a deep breath. “He’s very bright and quick-
witted and exceptionally advanced for his age,” she said. “He has good coordination,
expresses himself very well…” “Oh, I see,” the psychologist said, “It’s YOUR child!”
