While staying with a teacher friend in London I helped supervise a group outing of 6 year olds. One threw an apple core on the ground after lunch and when I told her not to litter she picked it up and tried to give it to me.
"Here, Miss"
"I don't want it. Chuck it in the garbage."
"What, Miss?" very puzzled look at the foreigner.
"Put it in the garbage can."
"Where, Miss?"
"In the . . ." desparate attempt to speak English instead of Canadian "In the . . . trash bin?"
"Oh, all-right Miss"
