The English language can be strange at times specialy for the young, 2 examples:
A young girl took her cat to school one day and when asked why by the teacher she said
"When we were having breakfast this morning the postman came and I heard him say to mum, When the kids have gone to school I'm going to come back and eat your pussy"
Liberary time at school and the children were all reading and with a very worried look on his face Johnie (he always gets the blame) put up his hand and asked the teacher
"Please Miss what does it mean to tear your leather"
The teacher with no idea asked is that in the book your reading?
"Yes Miss"
What are you reading John?
"Robin Hood Miss"
Oh a great story John, Robin, Maid Marion, Little John and Frier Tuck.
"Yes miss but what does it mean to tear your leather"
Show me in the book John.
Here Miss "Robin tore his leather jerkin off"
