The first grade teacher was getting to know her students on the first day of class. "Johnny, what do you like to do when you're not in school?" she asked. Johnny replied, "I love my choo-choo. In fact, I play with it all the time at home and have tracks set up all over the house." The teacher said, "That's wonderful, Johnny. However, since you're in the first grade now, don't you think you should call it a 'train'?" "Yes, teacher." "Good, now Susie, what do you like to do when you're not in school?" Susie answered, "Well, I have a horsie. In fact, I love my horsie, I ride it every day and do everything to take care of it." "Well, that's wonderful, Susie. However, since you're in the first grade now, don't you think you should call it a horse?" "Yes, teacher." The teacher said, "Good. Mary, what do you like to do when you're not in school?" "I like to read. I read all the time and love all different kinds of books." "Well, that's wonderful, Mary. What's your favourite book?" "'Winnie the Shit.'" |
