Mrs. Parker’s sixth-grade science class was buzzing with curiosity until one tricky question turned the atmosphere into complete chaos.
“Can anyone tell me which part of the human body can grow ten times bigger when stimulated?” she asked.
The room went silent. Students exchanged awkward glances, unsure whether this was a science lesson or something completely unexpected.
Then, Mary, the class’s self-appointed moral police, couldn’t stay quiet. She shot up from her chair, her face red with outrage. “Mrs. Parker, that’s an inappropriate question for sixth-graders! I’m telling my parents. You’re going to get fired for this!”
The class erupted into whispers, with Mary’s bold declaration adding fuel to the fire. But Mrs. Parker didn’t flinch. Calmly, she repeated the question, as if daring anyone else to jump to conclusions.
“Can anyone tell me which part of the human body can grow ten times bigger when stimulated?” she said again, this time with a hint of a smile.
The students stared at their desks, too nervous to speak. Mary folded her arms, smirking like she had already won.
Finally, Billy, a quiet but clever boy, raised his hand. He hesitated for a second, then stood up. “The body part that grows ten times bigger when stimulated is… the pupil of the eye,” he answered nervously.
A collective sigh of relief swept through the class. Mrs. Parker’s face lit up. “That’s absolutely correct, Billy! Well done!”
Then, she turned to Mary, her tone playful but pointed. “And now, Mary, I have three things to tell you: First, you have a very dirty mind. Second, you clearly didn’t do your homework. And third… you’re going to be very disappointed one day.”
The class burst into laughter. Even Mary couldn’t hide her sheepish grin as she sank back into her seat.
Mrs. Parker didn’t just teach science that day—she taught her students the importance of keeping an open mind and doing their homework before jumping to conclusions.
