I Didnt Say Anything

Fourth-grader, Leander had his hands down his pants.
Sitting on the rug, doing what people do but usually, in their sleep.
His young teacher said, "“Leander, please put your hands in the air!”
He said “I have to itch my junk.”
I smiled when she told me this. “What did you say?”
“I didn’t say anything. I don’t have junk, so I kept quiet.”

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Send Leander to the 'junkyard.' Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Boy needs a parent to pay him serious attention, methinks... :) gw

(LOL) This is hilarious. Hey, when a fourth-grader has an itch, he has to scratch it. I just love the way he said, "I have to itch my junk" instead of "I have to scratch my junk because it itches!" Funny! When did they start calling it "junk?"
