The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on no baby talk.
"You need to use 'big people' words," she'd always remind 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. Use big people words". She then asked Bobby what he had done.
"I read a book," he replied.
"That's wonderful!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?"
Bobby thought about it, then puffed out his little chest with great pride and said: "Winnie the Sh*t".
As A Butcher Is Shooing Away A Dog From His Shop, He Sees A $10 Bill And A Note In His Mouth
As a butcher is shooing away a dog from his shop, he sees a $10 bill and a note in his mouth, reading:
"5 lamb chops, please." Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop.
He follows the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus- stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus.
The butcher follows, dumbstruck.
As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws to push the "stop" bell, then the butcher follows him off.
The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the step. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does this again and again.
No answer.
So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big guy opens it and starts cursing and shouting at the dog.
The butcher runs up and screams at the guy: "What are you doing? This dog's a genius!"
The owner responds, "Genius, my a**… It's the second time this week he's forgotten his keys!"
