No Pooh
A new group of first graders were in class for the first time.
The teacher told them, "You are in first grade now and we do not
talk 'baby talk' in my classroom. When I point to you, stand,
tell me your name, and something you did this summer."
The first child stood, "My name is Jackie, I visited my Nanny."
The teacher said "That's great, but from now on we will say
grandmother. There is no 'baby talk' in the first grade."
The second child stood, "My name is Regina. I rode a choo choo
this summer." The teacher replied, "That's good, but from now
on
we will say train. Remember, no 'baby talk' in first grade."
The third child stood, "My name is Frank and I read a book this
summer." The teacher replied, "That's wonderful Frank!
What
book did you read?"
The little boy very proudly replied, "Winnie the Shit."
