That sounds almost identical to a story my college chemistry professor told once about teaching a first grade class. After exhaustively explaining the basic idea of what atoms were, a short period of silence followed. One girl in the middle of the room politely raised her hand, and when called on offered "I have two cats at home."
It's still a running joke between my wife and I. Whenever one of us makes a non-sequitir, the other will reply "I have two cats at home." |
