Three former kindergartners were trying to become
accustomed to first grade. The biggest hurdle they
faced was that the teacher insisted on no baby talk.
"You need to use ' big people' words" she'd always remind them.
She asked Wendy what she had done over the weekend.
"I went to visit my Nana"
"No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use
big people words!"
She then asked Joey what he had done. "I took a ride
on a choo-choo." he said.
"No, you took a ride on a TRAIN, use big people
words!"
She then asked Eddie what he had done.
"I read a book" he replied.
"That's wonderful" the teacher said. "What book did
you read?"
Eddie thought about it, then puffed out his chest with
great pride and said.
"Winnie The Sh!t."
