Mrs. Parks, a sixth-grade science teacher, stood in front of her class with a thought-provoking question.
“Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?” she asked.
The room fell silent. No one dared to answer—until little Mary suddenly stood up, her face red with shock.
“You shouldn’t be asking sixth-graders a question like that!” she exclaimed. “I’m going to tell my parents, and they’ll report you to the principal! You’ll be fired!”
Mrs. Parks remained unfazed and calmly repeated her question, “Which body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?”
Mary gasped. Her eyes widened as she turned to her classmates. “Oh boy, she’s really going to get in big trouble!”
The teacher, still unbothered, looked around the classroom. “Anyone?”
After a few moments of awkward silence, Billy hesitantly stood up, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. He glanced around the room before finally answering, “The pupil of the eye.”
A smile spread across Mrs. Parks’ face. “Very good, Billy!” she praised, before turning her attention to Mary.
“As for you, young lady, I have three things to say: First, you have a dirty mind. Second, you didn’t read your homework. And third, one day, you’re going to be very, very disappointed.”
