For all of you with sons, grandsons, or who just love the things little kids say ~ a reminder that adult words are often taken literally.....

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 telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it.

He did and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the
back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting
at his desk with his 'private part' hanging out.

'I thought I told you to call your mom!' she said.

'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.'
