· A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!'
· A little boy was doing his math homework and said to his dad, "I'm having trouble with these problems. Can you help me?" The dad looked at the paper and said, "I could, but it wouldn't be right." The boy replied, "That's okay, you can try anyway!"
· A teacher asked a little boy, "Give me a sentence starting with 'I'." The boy said, "I is..." The teacher interrupted, "No, you must always say 'I am'." The boy shrugged and said, "Okay. I am the ninth letter of the alphabet."
· A teacher wrote on the chalkboard: "I ain't had no fun all summer." She asked the class, "Now, what should I do to correct that?" A student suggested, "Get a boyfriend?"
