Eight-year-old Rivky brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good ... mostly A's and a couple of B's. However, her teacher Mrs. Lipshitz wrote across the bottom:
"Rivky is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit. Please sign back the report card to provide me with your authorization."
Rivky’s dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back:
"Dear. Mrs. Lipshitz: Please let me know if your idea works on Rivky because I would like to try it out on her mother."
