A kindergarten teacher tells her students to form a circle on the floor while she takes attendance. A stampede of 5-year-olds scrambles over, and after several minutes spent squirming and rearranging limbs, they finally manage to settle down into some semblance of a round shape. The teacher begins roll call - "Dionysus?" "Here!" says a tiny blond girl. "Basil?" "Here!" shrieks a small boy. "J-Jone ... or John?" the teacher hesitantly says. "Am I saying that right?" "Yes," John says quietly.
