A teacher noticed a young boy at the back of the classroom who seemed restless, continuously scratching himself and unable to concentrate on the lesson.

Approaching the boy, she discovered he was feeling embarrassed because he had just undergone a circumcision, which was causing him discomfort.

She advised him to visit the principal’s office and call his mother to discuss what he should do next.

After a while, the boy returned to class, but soon after, the teacher heard some commotion from the back of the room and went to investigate. She was surprised to find the boy sitting at his desk with his private parts exposed.

“I thought I asked you to call your mom,” the teacher exclaimed in confusion. “I did,” the boy answered, “and she told me if I could manage until noon, she would come and pick me up.”
