"What a silly question," his mother answered from the next room. "I'd rather you tore your pants!"
"Well, I got good news for you then," the boy replied triumphantly. "That's exactly what happened!"

How To Break A Bad News
A young boy came into the house covered with mud after finishing a rough day at play. "Mom," he shouted at the top of his voice, "if I fell out of a tree, would you rather I broke a leg or tore my pants?"
"What a silly question," his mother answered from the next room. "I'd rather you tore your pants!"
"Well, I got good news for you then," the boy replied triumphantly. "That's exactly what happened!"
