WHISKEY, ANYONE?

It was a creative writing class for fourth graders. The direction was to write several paragraphs using suspense. The students were showing me their rough drafts. One boy, a new student, told me his was going to be called "Whiskey Wiver." I told him he'd have to change it, that it was inappropriate to use "Whiskey" in his title and besides "Wiver" wasn't a real word. He looked dismayed and said "No, I mean Whiskey!" The poor child had to repeat himself, speech impedement and all several times before It hit me that he meant "Risky River!"
