Comedy attempt with a child
Consonant reader,
I had a class of year 7's today. The new breed, the nervous many who moved on up to big school this week.
It was a reading session as they didn't have proper timetables sorted out. I took the register and had a few laughs with them.
One joke made me laugh on the inside but the poor little girl didn't share my frivolity.
Bonobo: Name?
Pupil (looks up from book, serious look): *name*
Bonobo: (Smiling) And can you tell me if you're here today?
Pupil: Yes. (Solemn face turns back down to book, far more interesting than sarcastic teacher)
...I'm such a dwad aren't I?
B x.
p.s. I drove through the village of Newent again today. Its not an Onion festival, but an Onion Fayre. I do apologise to all onionphiles out there. Whip me till I bleed, then whip me some more to teach me never to diss Onion celebrations again.
