(It’s April Fools’ Day. My class decides to put a handwritten note saying “Do not enter! Water damage!” on the door before the teacher arrives.)

Teacher: “Water damage? What water damage?”

Student: “Didn’t anyone tell you about the leaking pipe in our classroom? Looks like we can’t have class today.”

Teacher: “Bummer! I guess we could all go to the cafeteria and have class there.”

(The whole class heads to the cafeteria and we can hardly hold back our laughter on the way there. We’re about to sit down when one of the lunch ladies speaks up.)

Lunch Lady: “Ma’am? What are you doing there?”

Teacher: “There’s a leaking pipe in the classroom, so I figured we could have class here.”

Lunch Lady: “Ma’am, what day is it today?”

Teacher: “April 1st. Why? Ohhh!”

(The teacher hands out sheets about batch production she wrote up herself. She reads the paragraphs out loud.)

Student: “Hey! You misspelled the word ‘batch!'”

(All of the students begin laughing and shouting.)

Another Student: “Did you double check what you typed, Ms. [name]?”

Teacher: “Uh… what? Oh my God! I’m so sorry about that. This is really terrible. Really, I’m really sorry. You’ll have to forgive me. Write over it, please. I can’t believe I’ve done that. So sorry class.”

(This professor is really tough, but gives weekly quizzes that are on a curve so that at least one person in the class always gets a 100%.)

Student 1: *whispering to class* “Everybody just write your name, leave the rest blank and we’ll all get perfect scores.”

Class: “Agreed!”

(The professor comes in and sees us all sitting there not taking the quiz. He goes around and collects our papers.)

Professor: “Are you sure you all want to do this?”

Students: “…”

Professor: “You’re sure? Nobody here wants to change their mind?”

Student #2: “Yes, I want to actually take the quiz now.”

(Student #2 stands up to go get his paper back, completes his quiz and hands it to the professor. The professor grades it.)

Professor: “[Student #2], you got an 80%. When you make a decision, stick with it. Everybody else gets a 100%. However, this is the first and only time this will work.”

(The eighth grade students are practicing their lines for a Christmas musical. One student has the part of a western-style character.)

Student: “Ya know, we gotta be makin’ this day special! We need some pomp, an’ we need some circumcisions!”

Me: “CIRCUMSTANCES! As in pomp and circumstances.”

(Thankfully, none of the students noticed. He finally got the line right for the performance, after a few more tries!)

(We’re a group of freshman girls. We are eating dinner in the dining hall when a cute older boy approaches our table.)

Cute Boy: “Hi. Is this seat taken?”

Us: “No, go right ahead.”

Cute Boy: “Thanks!”

(He picks up the chair and carries it to a nearby table where his friends are sitting.)
