They Don’t Have Any Wisdom To Remove!
I teach sixth-grade science.
Student: “Miss! Have you gotten your wisdom teeth removed?”
Me: “Yes?”
My answer causes the student and his friends to start giggling.
Me: “Why is that so funny?”
Student: “Isn’t the phrase ‘getting your wisdom teeth removed’ code for ‘losing your virginity’?”
Me: “No, they do not mean the same thing! Why would you think so?”
Student: “Well, because both of those usually happen around the same time, so I thought…” *Shrugs and sits down*
Me: “No, they are two totally different things. Getting your wisdom teeth removed is having actual teeth removed from your mouth.”
Student: “Wait! Wisdom teeth are actual teeth?!”
