A teacher saw a student in the back of the class who was squirming and scratching and seemed very unhappy. She went up to him out of curiosity and was made to feel bad.
He said in a whisper that he was hurting after being circumcised not long ago. The teacher told him in a sympathetic way to talk to the director and call his mother for help.
The student went back to class, but soon there was a noise coming from the same spot. The teacher ran back and was shocked to see that the boy’s pants were not pulled up.
She yelled, “I told you to call your mom!” The boy just said, “I did.” She told me she’d pick me up from school at noon if I could wait.
The whole class laughed out loud, and the teacher couldn’t help but smile at the simple mistake.
