Teacher says to the class, "Today, I want you all to use adult sentences. . . no baby talk.
Johnny, you go first. Johnny says, "Yesterday, my mommy and daddy took me to the zoo and we saw a quack quack."
The teacher said, "Johnny, you are using baby talk."
Johnny says, "Yesterday, my parents took me to the zoo and I saw some ducks."
That's better, Johnny," says the teacher. "Suzie, your turn."
Suzie responds, "I went to a farm yesterday and saw a moo moo."
After the teacher reminds her of the objective of the exercise, Suzie says,
"Okay, we saw a cow." Philip, it's your turn.
Philip replies, "My parents bought me a book yesterday. It's called Winnie the Shit."
