Big People Words

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 Chris what he 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 Mitchell what he 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 Alec what he had done?

"I read a book," he replied.



"That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did

you read?"



Alec thought real hard about it, then puffed out his

chest with great

pride, and said, "Winnie the SHIT."
