A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class, was squirming around, scratching his crotch and not paying attention.She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy.
The teacher told him to go down to the principal’s office; he was to phone his mother and ask her what he should do about it.
She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his penis hanging out.
“I thought I told you to call your Mom,” she screamed. “I did,” he said, “and she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she’d come and pick me up from school.”
The teacher told him to go down to the principal’s office; he was to phone his mother and ask her what he should do about it.
He did as he was told, feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. The little boy returned to his class, trying his best to focus on the lesson. But suddenly, there was a stir at the back of the room. The teacher, sensing something was amiss, went to investigate and was shocked to find the little boy sitting at his desk with his penis exposed.
In a mix of shock and anger, the teacher demanded to know why he was not following her instructions. The little boy, with a look of innocence, replied that he had indeed called his mother. She had told him that if he could bear it until noon, she would come and pick him up from school. The teacher could not believe what she was hearing and struggled to maintain her composure.
This incident was a mix of humor and embarrassment for everyone involved. The teacher realized that the little boy was simply following his mother’s instructions in a literal sense, not understanding the implications of his actions. She quickly ushered him down to the principal’s office to sort out the situation.
It was a lesson learned for both the teacher and the little boy. The teacher realized the importance of clear communication and ensuring that children understand the instructions given to them. The little boy learned that sometimes it’s better to seek help from adults when faced with uncomfortable situations.
In the end, the mother arrived at school before noon, much to the relief of the little boy and the teacher. They all had a good laugh about the misunderstanding, and the little boy went home with his mother, happy to be relieved of his discomfort.
This funny yet awkward incident served as a reminder that communication is key, especially when dealing with sensitive matters. It also showed that sometimes, children can take things quite literally, leading to unexpected situations.
