"Do you want to hear a really funny joke?" a student asked today as I handed out test tickets for the makeup reading SOL.
"Not right now," I answered. "We're busy," I added, gesturing to the tickets.
"It's very funny, and it's short," they assured me.
"What if I don't think it's funny?" I said.
"You will," they assured me, "or else I'll be quiet."
"Maybe later," I told them.
"What do you call a lesbian dinosaur?" they started.
"See?" I interrupted, "I already don't think that's funny."
"Lickalotap--" they started.
"That's a no!" I said sharply.
"How about another joke?" they asked.
"Nope," I shook my head. "That was your one chance. Now you have to take your test."
"Fine," they sighed, and they did.
