Jim-Bob decided to skip school one day. Around 9 AM, a truant officer knocked on the front door. Jim-Bob opened it. "Young man, why are you not in school?" she scolded him. "I ain't feel like going." he answered. The truant officer then asked, "Is your mother home?" "Nuh-uh. She up at the market. Maybe a hour she gone now." The truant officer, a little disturbed, asked, "And is your father home?" "Nuh-uh. Him neither. Maybe six month he gone for cigarettes." By now the truant officer is horrified. "Young man, you really ought to be in school. Where is your grammar?" "She ain't here. She dead."
