The October Tickler is from J. Black of Prior Lake MN:

I care for a two-year-old and his older brother who is six.   One day the two-year-old asked if he could stay with me for the weekend. I told him that his mom and dad would miss him if he stayed with me and that he should spend some time with his parents.

He said, okay, he would go home, but that I could keep his brother instead!
