In a 6th-grade science class, Mrs. Parks asks her students:
“Which human body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?”
The room falls silent... until little Mary jumps up, horrified.
“You shouldn’t ask us things like that! I’m telling my parents! You’ll get fired!”
Mrs. Parks calmly repeats the question to the class.
Still no hands go up.
Mary whispers, “She’s really in trouble now…”
Finally, little Billy raises his hand nervously and says:
“Um... the pupil of the eye?”
Mrs. Parks smiles.
“Correct!” Then she turns to Mary and says:
“And as for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
You have a dirty mind.
You didn’t do your homework.
One day… you are going to be very, very disappointed.”
