As a lad, I had a newt (a little amphibian like a salamander) as a pet and carried it in my shirt pocket. I took him to school one day for “show-and-tell” time. Everyone was interested and asked a lot of questions.
Finally, my teacher asked me if it had a name. I said I call him “Tiny”.
She asked me to explain why I gave it that cute name.
I replied, “Well, because it’s my newt.”
[and you wonder when I began my love of puns and word plays]
