Little Johnny learns about surnames
The teacher stands at the front of the class.
“So, what have we learned today about surnames? Can you figure out what your ancestors did all day? … Yes, Tommy *Smith*?”
“My family used to make shoes for horses!”
“That’s right! And yes, you, Janey *Archer*? What did your ancestors do?”
“They shot bows and arrows?”
“That’s correct Janey!”
Little Johnny puts up his hand nervously. He looks worried.
“Yes,” says the teacher, “Do you have a question, Johnny Dickinson?”
