A teacher noticed a boy at the back of her class fidgeting, scratching his crotch, and not paying attention. Concerned, she approached him to ask what was wrong. Embarrassed, the boy whispered that he had recently been circumcised and was experiencing intense itching. The teacher instructed him to go to the principal’s office and call his mother for advice. He followed her instructions, called his mom, and returned to class.
Later, the teacher heard a noise from the back of the room and went to investigate. To her shock, she found the boy sitting on the table with his exposed. “I thought I told you to call your mom!” she exclaimed. The boy replied, “I did, and she said if I could hold out until noon, she would pick me up from school.” The situation left the teacher both surprised and unsure how to handle the unusual predicament.
