A boy was on a park bench candy in his mouth

Little Johnny was sitting on a park bench after Halloween, happily stuffing handful after handful of candy into his mouth.

An elderly lady passing by noticed him and stopped.

“Johnny, you really shouldn’t eat all that candy at once,” she said. “Too much candy can damage your teeth, make you feel sick, and give you a stomachache.”

Johnny looked up at her and smiled.

“My grandfather lived to be 105 years old!” he proudly replied.

The lady was surprised. “Really? Did your grandfather eat five candy bars at a time like you’re doing?”

“No,” Johnny said.

The lady smiled and said, “Well, that explains it. He probably took much better care of himself.”

Johnny shrugged, grabbed another candy bar, and replied:

“No, he just minded his own business!”
