Grades Are No Joke
(Our English teacher stands at the front of the class and lets us know she is about to pass out our grade reports.)
Student #1: “I don’t care about my grade.”
Teacher: “But your parents do.”
Student #1: “I know…”
Student #2: “Oh, did your parents call her?”
Student #1: “No, they emailed her.”
Student #3: “Miss! Miss! Did my dad call you?!”
Teacher: “No, he didn’t.”
Student #3: “Oh, good. He’s in jail, so he can’t call.”
Teacher: “…”
Student #3: “I’m just kidding! He got released last week.”
