I Had No Reason

A couple was in despair because their 3 year old son still had not learned how to talk. Not a word had escaped through those now 3 year old lips. One night at dinner, the son took a taste of his pie, and to their utter surprise and amazement, said, “You call this pie? It tastes like some tasteless mush!” His parents just sat there in shock, for this was not just their son’s first sentence, but the first words he ever uttered! Once the initial shock had subsided, his father asked, “Tell me son, how come you never spoke until now?” And the son explained, “I never had any reason to. Everything was always fine.”
