A teacher asks the class to name things that end with
Advertisements
“tor” and eat things. The first boy says, “Alligator.”
The teacher responds, “Very good, that’s a big word.”
The second boy says,
“Predator,” and the teacher agrees, “Well done.”
Then little Johnny
pipes up, “Vibrator.”
The teacher nearly
falls off her chair and quickly clarifies,
“That’s a big word,
but it doesn’t eat anything.” Johnny responds casually,
“My sister has one,
and she says it eats batteries like there’s no tomorrow.”
The class erupts in giggles as
the teacher tries to
steer the lesson back on track,
realizing Johnny’s answer
was more about
humor than the lesson.
