A sister and her little brother are attending the first day of primary school in a one-room country school. The teacher is having all the students stand and give their names. When it’s the sister’s turn, she stands and says, “My name is Snotty Jones.”
“No,” says the teacher. “I don’t want you to give us your nickname, I want your real given name.”
“But, teacher,” says the girl, “That IS my real name! Everybody has called me that for my whole life!”
“Well, that’s just not possible, and if you don’t know what the name on your birth certificate is, I’m going to have to send you home to get it.”
“Okay, I guess that’s what I have to do,” the girl says and gathers her belongings. As she walks by her little brother’s desk, she says, “C’mon, Shitty, she’s not going to believe you, either"
