Hilter's Daughter

Student: I didn't know that Hilter had kids!
Me: Ok... Who's Hilter?
Student rolls his eyes: Gees, Mrs. Walker your the one who taught us about him!
Me: Hmm, could you possibly mean Hitler? Hey, you got all the letters right, just not in the correct order, right? But, no, honey, HITLER did not have any children.
Student: Uh-huh it says it right here!!!
(Holds up the fictional book, Hitler's Daughter)
Me: Which section of the library did you get that book from?
Student: The fiction side.
Me:............
Student: What?
Me:...........
Student: Oh, I get it!

Follow-up:
Upon telling this story to another Language Arts teacher, I was outdone when he said that a former student used that book as the basis for her RESEARCH paper, "Hitler's daughter."
