Kids!

Remember the boy in my class who sneezed on his test? Well, we have been studying parts of the body. We were reviewing the parts of the digestive system, and I called on this boy to tell me where food goes after it leaves the stomach. He thinks for a while and manages to get out "test...". Silly me, I encourage him thinking he's trying to say intestines. Nope. "TESTICLES!" he cries out with pride. Luckily, only one other boy knew what those were, and we were able to move on without discussing the reproductive system. I am so ready for a vacation.

Didn't another kid put paper intestines on a paper cutout that looked like testicles?

It's because he's so short! The intestines were one size fits all. What can I say?

That is hilarious! It's moments like those that make teaching priceless. I know we all bore our loved ones with stories all the time, but that one is great!

The better story is when little Jane goes home and says that Mrs. Hardwick is teaching the class about testicles and you end up in the principals office the next day!
