Children were lined up for the annual dinner.At the head of the dinner table was a large pile of apples. A teacher wrote a note and placed it next to the apples. It read, "Take only one. God is watching." Moving through the line, to the other end of the table, was a pile of chocolates. One little boy wrote his own note and put it next to the chocolates. It read, "Take as many chocolates as you want. God is watching the apples."
School evokes the funniest memories in everyone’s life. The fun we had in school had something candid and artless about it. It didn’t hurt anyone. It often arose out of our ignorance and uncorrupted mind.
When I was in 4th standard, my history teacher asked a question from my friend “How are tides formed”. My friend answered, “Teacher, the tides are a fight between the Earth and moon. All water in the earth rushes towards the moon due to vacuum, as there is no air or water there. He forgot where the sun joins in this fight.”
Cadbury Chocolate not only brings water in our mouth but also a smile on our face. You really witness many hilarious moments in a classroom when your teacher is witty and considerate. Our 4th STD teacher was once giving revision of multiplication lessons. He asked a boy what is the product of 9 and 8. He replied 74. The teacher immediately took a Cadbury chocolate and gave it to him. We protested to the teacher that he should not be given the chocolate, as the answer was 72. The teacher replied “Calm down! Calm down! … He is improving. Yesterday he told 88."
Sometimes an indifferent modern student can really puzzle a teacher. The same mathematics teacher once asked a student “Beta,If we subtract 75 from 75, what is the difference?” He promptly agreed with the teacher “That is what I say teacher, what the difference is? Why should we worry? Who cares?”
Its really difficult for a small kid to understand the amazing rules of mathematics.Fed up with the logic of Arithmetic a second standard kid, came and told his mother “Mumma, our Maths teacher is really crazy.Yesterday she taught us that 1+3 is 4, today she was telling 2+2 is four. She herself is so confused. How will she teach us then.” Don’t you sense an aura of innocence when children make such queries?
Kids can be really smart when they come up with ingenious answers. Once a teacher was asking her students about the homework she had given them the previous day. She noticed a boy looking downcast.
She asked, “What happened son? Haven’t you done the homework?”
“I was stupid teacher. I did my homework but my little brother made an aero plane out of that paper.”
“ Well, it is too bad that you did not keep your homework paper safely after completing it. Anyway, give it to me, I will try to unfold it”
“Oh! Teacher that is just not possible.” said Paul looking sadder. “You see teacher, the plane was hijacked today morning.”
Truly, kids say the cutest things!
