In the classroom, the teacher scolded the students: “You are too lazy to study; you have just one job, which is to learn, and you can’t even do that. When he was your age, President Abraham Lincoln walked to school every day, 7 miles each way, and studied very well.”
At the back of the room, a small voice spoke up:
“- But, teacher, at your age, Abraham Lincoln was already president!”

During a math puzzle session, the teacher asked the whole class:
“- If last year I had twin boys and this year I had a girl, can anyone tell me how many children I have?”
The classroom fell silent; you could hear a fly buzzing. Noticing that no one was raising their hand, the teacher said:
“- Tí, tell me what you think?”
Tí hesitated:
“- Teacher, there are no children at all.”
The teacher was surprised:
“- Now, let’s see, last year there were 2, and this year there’s 1…”
Tí shook his head firmly:
“- Sir, you cannot have children… only women can give birth!”
