A class of first graders was finding it difficult to adjust to life beyond kindergarten. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted they not use baby talk. "You need to use big people words," she kept saying to the class.
One day, the teacher asked John what he had done over the weekend.
"I went to visit my nana," he replied.
"No, you went to visit your grandmother. Use big people words," she replied.
Then she asked Mitchell what he had done.
"I took a ride on a choo-choo," he said.
"No, you took a ride on a train. You must remember to use big people words."
She then asked little Alex what he had done.
"I read a book," he replied.
"That's wonderful!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?"
Alex thought about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and replied, "Winnie the Shit."
