Another Great Laugh

[shetta]

You know how you have that one kid that does not realize that as he/she is reading a passage out loud they make a mistake? As such I had that one kid make such a mistake today. They were reading aloud a non-fiction story and the word that was stumbled on was "organism". They started the word two or three times and finally settled on the word "orgasm". I have to keep the straight face in front of 30 6th graders. Oh MAN that was a tear jerker.:eek:

:) :) :) :)
That is funny!

[Krafty]

Bwahahaha!!!:D

[TeacherRW]

Oh, man!! How were you even able to keep a straight face?? I would have lost it!

One of my greatest fears when I was in 6th grade was to mispronounce a word during our "sex ed class". I would count paragraphs to see which one I would be reading. I was so worried about saying "public" instead of pubic bone. Ugghh!!

I keep from laughing beacuse of the trauma it may cause. I remember all the kids laughing at one of my students years ago when he gave a speech on George Washington Carver and all his uses for the male genetalia it sounds like peanuts. That incident was hard to not laugh at too...I think he had the word peanut in his report 152 times, and each time he mispronounced it. My soon to be husband was in my classroom at the time, as he had arrived a little early to take me to lunch. Now that was a topic of conversation. My buffer though is all the zeros that my other students have. I concentrate on how to motivate them and it doesn't make me laugh. :p

One of my students loudly passed gas in class the other day. I usually don't laugh at that kind of thing, but I think it was the giggles of the other students that did it to me. I didn't laugh, but boy was it tough.

I remember typing a paper in college about the possibility of life on Mars. It was about 10 pages long and I finished typing around 3:00 in the morning...my conclusion/last sentence was supposed to say something like "Based upon our current knowledge, there is most probably no organic life on Mars." I was sooo tired and wanted to finish typing & go to bed.
Well, when I got the graded paper back, I had received an "A", but the professor wrote a note to "See last page". When I looked at the last page, I was mortified to find that I had typed "orgasmic life" instead of "organic life"! My professor simply commented by writing in an exclamation mark!!!

Roommate of a friend sent out probably 100 resumes in her Sr year of college with her degree listed as "Pubic Relations". Lesson - don't depend on just your spell checker :D

Thanks for the laughs.

Try teaching kindergarten. They say some very interesting things. One young man stood on the table in the housekeeping center and yelled, "I'm the man of the house. I want sex and I want it now!" It's hard to keep a straight face after picking your jaw up off the floor.

I could write a book.

These stories are sooo funny.
Making me LOL!

[arteacher]

I just read this and I wonder how can you keep your face straight? It remind me to Mr. Bean movie, how can everybody around him keep the straight face? ThankS!

...It remind me to Mr. Bean movie, how can everybody around him keep the straight face?...

Mr. Bean's non-verbal communication is absolutely hilarious! I find the students that I teach, just as fascinating to watch, listen, and observe. This is a great thread! Thank you, all, for continuing to post, here. You have brightened my day. :)
with Appreciation & Gratitude! ~LovesMath~

[MrsR]

These are some great stories!!

[orlandoteacher]

Too funny! I am surprised how much they kids understand these days that should go over their heads. Scary!

[eaglesaint02]

That's awful!!! Back in High School, I had a history teacher that said erection instead of election....that's another fear of us all I believe!

[mkcornflower]

Wow, kids say the darnedest things don't they? Keeps life interesting!:D

[mopar]

Wow! You definitely know what this kids parents say at home.

[kingrichie]

Classic.
I always rimind them they have to spell shirt with an "r".

One of our activities in first grade was to read the book " How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World" then write a recipe for apple pie. One of the kids wrote "add semen" instead of "cinnamon". Go ahead... Say it out loud. You know, just like a first grader. Now try it with a straight face. We had a great laugh over that one. Several years later I still laugh imagining that pie!

[3rdgradeteach]

I totally understand....sometimes you just can't help it...they do say the darndest things....

[3rdgradeteach]

I think the funniest thing I have come across is my 3rd graders spelling.....You would not believe some of the words they come up with and still are totally innocent in their thinking!

My 6th grade resource students were taking turns making corrections to Daily Oral Language on the board and explaining what they did and why. One girl explained that a condom was needed rather than a comma. At least I knew the students were listening.:eek:

[teach1027]

I could't even imagine. What did the other kids do? did the student even realize what they had done?

One of our local school's recently had "pubic speaking competition" on their big notice board out the front. (put up that way by their deputy principal no less!) Made our kid's day.

Upon hearing that my birthday was approaching, one fourth grade resource girl asked how old I would be. I told her what year I was born. She added the numbers together, and I shrieked, "Do I look like I am over 3000 years old?" Giggles galore! The next time she figured out my age by doing her subtraction. I carry my age very, very well.

[3rdgradeteach]

My birthday is coming in January.....I can't wait to see what happens then....This ought to be good with 3rd graders....lol..I will update
