Amalie's speech student

Amalie was a speech teacher in the grammar schools, and was fond of telling of the time she had an eight year old boy with a lisp. She had him chatting away, and correcting him as necessary. Somehow they were talking about insects, and Amalie asked him if he knew the difference between an insect and a spider. He said that a spider has eight legs, but an insect has six. “How do you happen to know that?” she asked him. His response: “I uthed to be an entymologitht.”

(Now if you don't believe him, count the legs for yourself.)
