A son asked her father, Hey, Pop, can I have 10 bucks to buy a skateboard?”

The father replied, “No!  Look, Johnny, you should try to use your brains to raise the 10 dollars yourself.”

About five minutes later the lad returned and said, “Well, I raised the 10 dollars.”

The father asked, “How?”

The youngster smiled and said, “I asked Mom for it.”
