Mrs. Parks thought she was asking a straightforward question of her sixth-grade science class, but she never imagined the humorous miscommunication that would follow.
What had begun as a simple quiz about the human body soon developed into knowledge that Little Mary would never forget.
If you’ve ever witnessed someone make a fool of themselves by drawing the incorrect conclusion, you’ll want to read on for a belly-laugh-inducing scenario that will make you happy that you weren’t Mary.
“Is there a human body component that, when stimulated, increases in size by 10 times?” inquired Mrs. Parks, her science teacher in the sixth grade.
The teacher pointed at a kid at random because no one had responded.
Little Mary protests the d***y question
Little Mary stood up, crossed her arms and said, “You should not be asking sixth graders questions like that! I’m going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, and then he’ll fire you!”
Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, “Let’s try that again. Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?”
Mary’s mouth dropped wide open. “You’re going to get in big trouble!” she shouted, pointing at her teacher.
The teacher ignored her once more and asked, “Anyone?” to the class.
Billy finally got to his feet, surveyed his surroundings warily, and declared, “The pupil of the eye is the body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated.”
With a smile, Mrs. Parks responded, “Very good, Billy.”
“As for you, young lady, I have three things to say: One, you have a d***y mind,” she said, turning to face Mary. “Second, you didn’t read your homework. And third, you will be extremely, extremely disappointed at some point.”
