It's All How You Look At It

While out on the playground sitting on grass
Teacher asked  question of her third grade class
What will you all do
When you finish school?
Little Johnny replied quick as a flash

A tree is what I want to be when I am all grown up
“You cant be a tree” said the teacher stuttering tuts
“Why Not”? he exclaimed
To the teachers disdain 
 “We both have limbs, trunks and nuts”
