The first paragraph described the problem.
Seems the girl came home and proudly told her mother that she had made a 98 on the math exam.
Mother's response was "And who got the hundred?"
--------
"Moshe...zip up your jacket..your mother is getting cold..."
My daughter came home one day with a 100 on an exam. She was so proud of herself. I looked at it and said, "A hundred ??? Is that all ?? What did you do?? Spell your name wrong?? "
I then told everyone I knew that she had come home with a lousy 100 test score. I don't know what's wrong with kids today, they don't apply themselves anymore.
My wife wouldn't let me ground her.
P :)
IMHO, funny it isn't.

Yeah, I didn't get it either. jc

It sounds like Martian irony. Or perhaps Venutian.
Must be a Canadian thing. I've done the same, and both my daughter and I found it quite funny.
You must be a Canadian at heart. And it was funny. It's called left handed bragging.
My brother in law was sitting in a bull session at lunch on day, listening to the gearheads talking of classic cars. He jumped with " Oh yeah, well my brother in law has a 50 plymouth in mint condition and he says I can have it anytime I want. I just don't know if I want it."
Left handed bragging struck again

I totally got the humour in that.
Well, I grew up in and around Winnipeg and currently live in Saskatoon...
