First Day at Kindergarten
A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk "You need to use 'Big People' words," she was always reminding them.
She asked Emily what she had done over the weekend? "I went to visit my Mamie." "No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words!"
She then asked Elise what she had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo." She said "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use Big People' words."
She then asked little Andrew what he had done? "I read a book," he replied. "That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?"
Andrew thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with
great pride, and said, "Winnie the SH*T!"
