Explicitness
On her return home after an absence of a few hours, the mother was displeased to find that little Emma, who was ailing, had not taken her pill at the appointed time, although she had been carefully directed to do so.
“You were very naughty, Emma,” the mother chided. “I told you to be sure and take that pill.”
“But, mamma,” the child pleaded in extenuation, “you didn’t tell me where to take it to.”
