Tampons

Two little boys go into the grocery store. One is nine, one is four. The nine year old grabs a box of tampons from the shelf and carries it to the register for check-out.

The cashier asks, ``Oh, these must be for your mom, huh?''

The nine year old replies ``nope, not for my mom''

Cashier- ``Well they must be for your sister then?''

Nine year old- ``nope, not for my sister either.''

Cashier curious now- ``Oh, not for your mom and not for your sister, who are they for?''

The nine year old says ``They're for my four year old little brother.''

The cashier is surprised -``Your four year old little brother??''

The nine year old explains: ``Well yeah, they say on TV if you wear one of these you can swim or ride a bike and my little brother can't do either of them!''
