  A TEACHING MOMENT

   
   
  The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, "Which human
  body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?"

  No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, "You should not be
  asking sixth-graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my parents,
  and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!"

  Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, "Which body part
  increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?"

  Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her, "Boy, is
  she going to get in big trouble!"

  The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, “Anybody?"

  Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, "The body part
  that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye."
  Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy." Then she turned to Mary and
  continued. "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."
