When Mrs. Parks asked her sixth-grade science class a seemingly simple question, no one could have predicted the hilarious misunderstanding that was about to happen. What started as an innocent quiz about the human body quickly turned into a lesson that Little Mary would never forget.
If you’ve ever seen someone embarrass themselves by jumping to the wrong conclusion, keep reading! This story has a laugh-out-loud moment that will make you glad you weren’t in Mary’s shoes.
Mrs. Parks stood in front of her class and asked, “Can anyone tell me which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?”
The classroom fell silent. No one raised their hand to answer. So, Mrs. Parks decided to pick a student at random.
Little Mary jumped up, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, and shouted, “You shouldn’t be asking sixth graders dirty questions like that! I’m going to tell my parents, and they will go to the principal, and then he’ll fire you!”
Mrs. Parks just smiled and ignored Mary’s outburst. She repeated her question, “Let’s try that again. Which body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?”
Mary’s eyes went wide with shock. She pointed dramatically at her teacher and yelled, “You’re gonna get in big trouble!”
Mrs. Parks continued to overlook her and asked the class, “Anyone?”
Finally, Billy, who looked a little nervous, stood up and said, “The body part that increases ten times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye.”
“Very good, Billy!” Mrs. Parks praised him with a smile.
Then she turned back to Mary and said, “As for you, young lady, I have three things to say: One, you have a dirty mind. Two, you didn’t read your homework. And three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed.”
The entire class erupted in laughter, and Little Mary’s face turned bright red. It was a moment she would never live down!
