Tommy was sitting in math class when suddenly his teacher asked him

“Tommy, How much is 2 + 2?”

Tommy, caught off guard, begins counting his fingers under the table mumbling to himself: “1…2…3…4,” before happily exclaiming “The answer is four!”

“That’s correct,” answered his teacher, “but I saw you counting your fingers instead of doing the math in your head. So I want you to put your hands behind your back and tell me what do you get if you add 3 + 3?”

Tommy put his hands behind his back, but his teacher saw that he was still moving uncomfortably as if he were trying to count fingers. After a few moments he said uncertainly, “is the answer six?”

“You are correct,” she replied, “but I see you’re still counting fingers despite me asking you not to! Put your hands in your pant pockets and tell me what you get if you add 5 + 5.”

Tommy put his hands in his pants and his teacher saw him looking at his pants and moving his lips without uttering a word.

Finally the teacher became impatient and said: “I see what you’re doing there and I can tell you right now that the answer is not eleven!

 

A teacher asked her students to use the word “fascinate” in a sentence.

Martha said, “My family went to the Louisville Zoo, and it was fascinating to see all the animals.”

The teacher said, “That was good, but I wanted you to use the word ‘fascinate.’”

Sarita raised her hand. She said, “My family went to the Cincinnati Zoo and I was fascinated by the animals.”

“That’s good, too,” said the teacher, “but I really wanted you to use the word fascinate.”

Little Billy raised his hand.

The teacher hesitated because Billy was noted for his bad language, but surely he couldn’t damage a world like “fascinate,” so she called on him.

Billy said proudly, “My aunt has a sweater with 10 buttons, but her b*bs are so big she can only fasten eight.”
