Miss Jones and the Students

An elementary teacher in her third year of teaching brought down the house on Dr. Bill’s talk show when she told the following story one night:

Miss Jones, a dedicated fifth-grade teacher and biology major in college, decided that she would introduce her inquisitive class to the basics of human anatomy because it was her opinion that children were gaining a lot of misinformation about human sexuality at an early age. Shee labored for a month to prepare a special unit on human physiology and then took a full week to present it to her eager students. That Friday, she announced to the class: “Now class, your homework for the weekend is to tell me what part of the human body expands six times when stimulated.”

On Monday morning, she pointed to her best sudent, Melanie, and asked for the answer. Melanie cupped a hand over her mouth to hide her embarrassment and whispered: “My mommy says I can’t say it, Teacher.”

The teacher then called on little Henry who was wildly waving his hand from the back of the room. “It’s the pupil of the eye, Miss Jones.”

“Very good, Henry”, replied Miss Jones. Then, as she turned to go back to the front of the room, she paused at Melanie’s desk and said: “Little girl, I now know three things about you. One, you didn’t do your homework. Two, your mommy has a dirty mind. And three, oh boy, when you gro up are you going to be disappointed.”
