Lateral Thinking Questions
ANSWER: L.T.Q. #42 
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 96 01:13 EDT
Maybe I was the only one stumped on this one, because everyone else seems to
have gotten it easily. Then again I guess we've all been there before.
Here is this week's question:
A father was speaking to his teenage daughter. "You arrived very late, at 3
o'clock in the morning, and you kept me and your mother up waiting anxiously
for you. I do not want that to ever happen again."
"But, Father," the girl replied, "I will never be able to do that again."
What did she mean?
ANSWER:
They had been talking about the girl's birth.
I don't remember my own birth very well. After all, I was very young at the time!
