[fwd] 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 SH–.”
