Little Johnny Asked His Teacher Why The Letter “H” Is Sometimes Silent

Johnny is a seventh-grader. He used to question his teacher all the time.

Johnny asked his English teacher one day:

“Why don’t we say some letters with an H like in hour and honor?”

“We don’t ignore them; they’re just silent,” his teacher replied.

Johnny was even more perplexed.

Johnny’s instructor gave him her packed meal during lunch and instructed him to warm it in the cafeteria.

After finishing the food, Johnny returned the empty container to her.

His English instructor:

What happed? His teacher inquired. “Please reheat my food,” I said. “Why are you providing me with a blank container?”

In response, Little Johnny said, “I thought the ‘H’ was silent.”

To all of the English teachers out there.
