close but no cigar

As we were about to read a short story in class, I say, "This story is an example of a myth. What is a myth?" Mind you, the answer is written right in the textbook we are about to read from.

DS excitedly raises his hand. "Oooh, oooh! I know! It's a drug, like speed."

You can't expect a 4th grader not to laugh

My friend told me a story she still remembered from 4th grade. Her teacher was reading aloud a book where all throughout it, the main character would stop and say, "It's not my fault!" I guess she slipped and said, "It's not my fart!" Needless to say, all 30 of them cracked up laughing. I am curious as to how the rest of the lesson went after that...
