The first little girl stood and said "I got a Bow-Wow from my Daddy. The teacher addressed the class and sternly told them that they were certainly old enough to know and use the correct names for things, and that she didn't want to hear any more baby talk. She then asked the little girl if she could think of another word for her gift, one that grown-ups would use. The little girl replied, "I got a puppy-dog from my Daddy." The teacher praised her lavishly and went on to the next child, a boy. "I got a Choo-Choo for Christmas." he beamed. Again the teacher chided the little tyke, and asked him to think of another name to describe his gift. "I got an Electric Train for Christmas!" he said after mulling it over. The teacher praised him for his efforts. The next little boy, a normally very quiet kid, stood, said "I got a book." and sat down. Seeing an opportunity to draw him out a little, the teacher asked "And what was the title of your book?" The little guy hesitated and then, with a serious face and a knitted brow, began obvious mental efforts. After a couple of minutes of deep thinking, his face brightened and he replied, "Winnie The Shit."
