stutter

[$parechange]

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. 'Human beings
are the only animals that stutter,'
she says. A little girl raises her hand. 'I had a kitty-cat who stuttered.'

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become,
asked the girl to describe the incident.

'Well,' she began, 'I was in the back yard with my kitty and the
Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew
it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!'

'That must've been scary,' said the teacher.

'It sure was,' said the little girl. 'My kitty raised her back, went
Sssss, Sssss, Sssss' and before she could say '$h1t,' the Rottweiler ate
her!'

The teacher had to leave the room.
