After raising two kids and having a slew of nieces and nephews, one thing I’ve learned about kids is that you have to be very specific when you give them directions. The thing is, their little minds aren’t always able to put things together as quickly as adults do and they can take things quite literally if you aren’t careful. You just never know what kids are going to do and say. They are also typically surprisingly unselfconscious, so it’s a good practice to expect the unexpected from them. Both little boys and little girls are this way, but my experience is that little boys are something else! In the joke below, it’s hard to imagine a child doing it, but if you’ve ever had a little boy, this might sound just about right. Enjoy this hilarious joke.
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.
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 pecker 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.”
