The 6th-grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, \u201cWhich human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, \u201cYou should not be asking sixth-graders a question like that! I\u2019m going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, \u201cWhich body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Little Mary\u2019s mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her, \u201cBoy, is she going to get in big trouble!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, \u201cAnybody?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, \u201cThe body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Parks said, \u201cVery good, Billy,\u201d then turned to Mary and continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs for you, young lady, I have three things to say: One, you have a dirty mind. Two, you didn\u2019t read your homework. And three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
