A young boy approached his father one day and said, “Dad, our math teacher is asking to see you.”
Curious, the father asked, “What happened?”
The boy explained, “Well, she asked me, ‘How much is 7 multiplied by 9?’ I answered ‘63.’ Then she asked, ‘And 9 multiplied by 7?’ I replied, ‘What’s the difference?’”
The father, a bit amused, said, “Indeed, what is the difference?”
“Sure, I’ll go,” the boy answered, implying that he would explain it to the teacher.
The next day, the boy returned from school and asked, “Dad, have you gone to the school?”
“Not yet,” the father responded.
“Well, when you do, you should see the gym teacher as well,” the boy continued.
“Why?” asked the father.
The boy recounted the events of the gym class that day: “The teacher asked me to raise my left arm, which I did. Then he asked me to raise my right arm, and I did that too. Next, he asked me to lift my right leg, and I followed his instructions. Finally, he said, ‘Now lift your left leg,’ so I asked, ‘What, am I supposed to stand on my private part?’”
The father replied, “Exactly.”
“Alright, I’ll come,” said the boy, expecting his father to visit the school.
The following day, the boy asked again, “Did you go to the school?”
“No, not yet,” the father answered.
“Don’t bother,” the boy said. “I got expelled.”
Surprised, the father asked, “Why did you get expelled?”
The boy explained, “Well, they summoned me to the principal’s office, and sitting there were the math teacher, the gym teacher, and the art teacher.”
The father, puzzled, asked, “The art teacher was doing what there?”
“That’s exactly what I said,” the boy replied.
