A Teacher Asks The Class To Name Things That End With “Tor”

A teacher in a school full of bright young things made the decision to use an interesting word game to encourage the students’ inventiveness.

The task was to think of terms that finish in “tor” and have a voracious thirst for goods. With great excitement, the kids held up their hands, prepared to take part.

A self-assured young child led the line, confidently yelling, “Alligator!” His large and impactful word choice won him praise from the teacher.

As the next student excitedly cried out, “Predator!” the entire classroom was filled with expectation.The kid received praise from the teacher for having an amazing vocabulary.

And Little Johnny was the next. Johnny, who is renowned for his quick wit and mischievous demeanor, piped up in a tone that was both innocent and ‘spicy’. “Miss, v***ator,” he said.

The teacher was having trouble maintaining her calm as the entire room burst into giggles.

Once the laughter subsided, the teacher replied, “That’s definitely a big word, Johnny, but it doesn’t actually consume anything.”

Unfazed, Johnny confidently explained, “Well, my sister has one, and she says it eats batteries like there’s no tomorrow!
