Uteruses or Uteri?
View all posts by shudsonWe are currently writing individual autobiographies in my sophomore English class, and the students were stumped on what to write about concerning their family members. I asked them, ” Do you know of any interesting or unique characteristics a family member(s) might have?” Here was the conversation that followed, officially going down in class history as the most awesome/terrible thing I’ve ever heard…
Student #1: Uniqe stuff about about family? Well…my sister only has one kidney but two uteruses.
Student #2: Wait! Your sister has two hangee-thingees in her throat?!?!?
Student #3: (Hits Student #2 in the arm) You’re stupid. She said uteruses. That means her sister can hold twice the pee we can.
Student #4 (a male student): Pee? Does that mean I have a uterus?
Teacher (me): Oh. My. God.
