Fun as a teacher...
In a Year 9 (13-14 year olds) Biology class, we were discussing the heart. A student mentioned transplanted and I noted that, yes, if there is an issue, hearts can be obtained from a suitable donor. A girl at the front looked confused. I asked why.

"What's a donor, sir?"
"Someone who donates their organs so that others can live."

She pauses and then asks:

"Won't they need their heart?"
"The organs are removed after death."

I've never seen anyone go green so quickly.
