I bet I'm not the only teacher with a long list of 'howlers' from pupils' written work. I taught 8yr olds for several years, and one year I asked the class to write a beautiful letter to Father Christmas, listing their wishes for presents. One little girl had a nice long list, but one item was 'a pair of tits'. I assume she meant tights, and wondered if Father Christmas brought the correct things.

Another child wrote that 'the fields were humming with incest'.

Finally a boy was composing a story about a brave knight, wearing heavy armour, complete with sword, shield and lance, galloping into battle. He rather spoilt the effect though by naming the knight's horse 'Fluffy'.
