A simple question in science class turned into a funny moment when a student completely misunderstood it.
During a 6th-grade science lesson, Mrs. Parks asked the class, “Which human body part grows ten times its size when stimulated?”
The room went quiet for a second, until one student, Mary, couldn’t hold it in any longer.
She stood up, upset, and said, “You shouldn’t ask sixth-graders that kind of question! I’ll tell my parents, and they’ll report you to the principal, and you’ll get fired!”
Mrs. Parks, staying calm, repeated the question for the class, making sure to emphasize that it was purely scientific.
“Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?”
Mary, still upset, looked around at her classmates with wide eyes and said, “She’s definitely getting in trouble for this!”
Mrs. Parks didn’t lose her cool and patiently waited for someone to answer.
She asked again, “Does anyone know the answer?”
At last, Billy, one of the quieter students, nervously raised his hand and stood up.
After glancing around at his classmates, he said:
“The body part that increases ten times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye,” Billy answered nervously.
Mrs. Parks smiled, happy with Billy’s answer, and congratulated him for getting it right.
Then, she turned to Mary and, in a calm but firm voice, said:
“As for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
First, you have a dirty mind.
Second, you didn’t do your homework.
And third, one day, you’re going to be very, very disappointed.”
