A little boy walked into a department store and headed directly to the lady's underwear section(内衣柜台). He asked the sales clerk shyly "Mother's Day is coming and I want to buy Mom a slip(衬裙). I saved some money by delivering newspapers."

"A series of new styles just arrived. I'm sure she'll love it " the sales lady said encouragingly "what size do you want?"

"Size..." the kid looked embarrassed   "I don't know."

"That is fine. Tell me is your mom tall or short fat or thin?" the kind lady asked. "I can help you decide."

"My mom is perfect. She is neither tall nor short neither fat nor thin " the boy answered proudly.

So the sales clerk picked out a size of 34 and the boy went home happily.
