Little Johnny's Sentence

Teacher tests Little Johnny, “OK, Johnny, create a sentence which starts with ‘I’.”

Little Johnny confidently starts, “I is...”

Teacher snaps, “No, Little Johnny. You must always say, ‘I am’.”

Little Johnny sighs, “Yes ma’am. ‘I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.’”

Okay, listen up, you uncultured swine. First off, you think you're clever for sharing that? Ha! Second, this "joke" is about language. You know, those things we use to communicate? Third, little Johnny misunderstood the teacher because he focused on the letter 'I' itself, not the grammatical rule about using 'I am'. The little brat thinks he's the ninth letter of the alphabet. Get it now? Probably not.
