Hello, April! April is National Humor Month, so let’s have a chuckle, shall we? We’ve all had laughable moments while at school. One time, while 
crouching beside a student, I accidentally caught the heel of my shoe in the hem of my half-slip. Well, you can figure out what happened next. My third-grade boys were beside themselves! There was no discreet way to return the slip to its original position, so I made a quick decision to gracefully step out of the garment, fold it, and keep on keeping on! I never heard a peep from a parent.
Come on now! I know you have a funny to share!

I rushed out of the house ready for another days work in my kindergarten class when I felt a little lopsided as I was greeting the children and their parents that morning. I looked down and discovered that not only was
I wearing 2 very different shoes but one had a much higher heal than the other! Needless to say , I had to continue wearing those shoes all day and never heard the end of how silly Miss Sylvia was!
While waiting for my pre-k students at the bathroom door, I realized one of the boys was taking a little while. I asked if he was ok, which he replied he was. Another student in line said, “He’s just constipated.”
While I have a number of my own funny stories after 20+ years in the classroom, none quite compares to the story told to my sister by my niece’s kindergarten teacher.
During a class discussion about where everyone was born, my niece proudly shared that the name of the hospital she was born at was “Lutheran Genital”.
It was a PTO night when my team teacher and I had to present information about the state examination. I was explaining the standards when one parent asked what would the process be if a student failed the first attempt. I explained that there would be a second attempt towards the end of the year and if need be, the student would have to attend “Sunday school!” I meant to say “summer school!” Needless to say, we all had a laugh at that one!
After teaching my hearing impaired students how to play go fish..That you say “Go Fish” if you don’t have what is asked for…One student took it a step further and told the lunch cashier to “Go Fish” when he didn’t have his lunch punch card one day.
One morning I had been very concerned about one of my little ones…so concerned that as we started to say the pledge..I started saying the Lord’s Prayer instead. The next day I had to really think hard about what to say when our flag came out and I couldn’t even look at the classroom aide without chuckling!
