boogers are funny

My students were making a list of who is the funniest in the class. Having heard the top five, I expressed my surprise and outrage that I was not considered for one of the positions, namely the top one. So we staged a secret competition. Me versus the funniest kid. All day another student took score secretly. Criteria included number of times the class laughed at that person (oops, I mean WITH that person...), intensity of the laughter, and ability to deliver the line without collapsing into a heap of giggles. Now, I admit I was at an unfair advantage, because let's face it, I get way more talk time than the kids. But, I am proud to admit I have officially earned the coveted "Most Hilarious" title in my class. So what that it was bestowed by a group of 26 fourth graders? They're the funniest people I know.
