One day the class was discussing the word "excitement" ..... the teacher wanted them to come to the Blackboard and write a word associated with excitement..

Little Sally comes up and writes the word "Firetruck"......... everyone gets it and applauds.

Little Mary comes up and writes the word "Amberlamps" little Mary is somehow related to Huntsman22's .... again everyone applauds.

Little Johnny comes up and writes/draws three big DOTS. Teacher and everyone is puzzled, she asks him to explain.

Well, I'm not quite sure myself, but at dinner last night my sister said that she had missed three periods, and then momma fainted, daddy chitt his britches and gus the hired hand shot himself................. and it was all pretty phoucin exciting.
