In the story, a teacher is working with a group of kindergarteners transitioning into first grade. She insists they use “big people words” instead of baby talk. When she asks the students about their weekend activities, she corrects them for using childish terms. Chris says he visited his “Nana,” but the teacher corrects him to say “grandmother.” Mitchell talks about riding a “choo-choo,” which the teacher corrects to “train.” Finally, when Bobby shares that he read a book, he proudly says it was “Winnie the Shit,” which leaves the teacher shocked and amused.
