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 his problem.

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.’
