One of the best things about working as an aide in a second grade classroom is being with kids who are, for the most part, too young to be corrupt. When they say something inappropriate, it comes from a pure and innocent place.
So, when the teacher asked for an example of a word with the “short i” sound, and a student raised his hand and said, “Tit”…shouldn’t he get partial credit?

LMAO, I wouldn’t have been able to hold it together. Definitely full credit, he was absolutely right. (just maybe a mention aside that that’s not necessarily an appropriate word to volunteer during class)

Some rednecks call there animals teets ‘tits’, maybe that’s where that kid heard it.
Or maybe the kid’s is still on the tit?
Either way, it’s jolly good.

“Tit” that’s better than what my little one would have said. I’m lucky he knows what he can and can’t say at school.
Rachel
