UTERUS!

My parents always considered a Christian education to be one of the most important things that they could give my brother and I, so as kids we attended a small private school with approximately 20 other students.

Each year we had a Religion class and studied the Bible not to mention the fact that I'd read through the Bible many times as a kid, played Bible Trivia games, listened to the Bible on tape and went to church each week. You can imagine that by the time I'd reached the 6th grade I pretty much knew enough about the Bible to start my own church.

There was another kid in my school by the name of Caleb King. We had grown up together, our dads were business partners and our families were good friends so at one point we were pretty tight. For some reason over the years we ended up becoming cutthroat rivals and could hardly stand the sight of each other.

Let me preface the following story by telling you that I was painfully shy as a kid. I would need to use the restroom in grade school and debate whether or not it was worth raising my hand and actually having to ask the teacher if I might do so. I was afraid my voice might crack or what have you and I rarely raised my hand without first running through what I was going to say in my head.

In the 6th grade I shared a classroom with about 10 other kids and on the day in question we had all finished our assignments ahead of time so our teacher decided to let us play a Bible trivia game. The other kids in the room didn't have a chance against Caleb and I as we were the resident "experts." I was determined that he wouldn't win and he was equally as determined that I wouldn't. We were giving each other the evil eye and trying to get the teacher to call on us first.

We were at a tie until our teacher asked a question and the room was dead silent. I was shocked! I knew the answer and no one else did!! This was my chance to win and finally show Caleb who was boss. I shot my hand up into the air but the teacher didn't notice. I frantically began to wave it back and forth trying desperately to get his attention before Caleb figured out the answer. I finally didn't know what else to do, so I just shouted, "UTERUS!!!!" at the top of my lungs.

As soon as the word left my mouth I knew something was terribly wrong. At first I couldn't even think of what a uterus was, but by the looks on the faces of my classmates I knew I'd messed up. In a class full of kids who still giggled over anything having to do with S-E-X you can imagine my complete mortification.

My mind was scrambling trying to figure out how it had all gone wrong but it was too late.

The answer was Uriah.
