Teacher asks their class of children

Teacher asks their class of children to come up with a sentence beginning with “I”

After a few children come to the front with predictable statements about having a cat or a certain toy,

a child steps up and says”I is-” and is immediately interrupted by the teacher,

“I am!” She side-eyes the teacher, frowns and ignores her teacher,

starting again”I is-” again, the teacher interrupts her, this time a little more snappily

“It’s I am! Use the proper word!”

The girl turns to look at her this time, eyelids drooped with exasperation.

“Fine,” she sighs “I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.”
