Laughter, it’s something that gets us through the day and makes a mark on many hearts. Laughter keeps us going, provides entertainment, and makes the world a better place. People respond well and it etches memories into the heart.
My students are smart, quirky, creative, and make my world go around and around on a daily basis. Just because they think and act differently doesn’t mean they don’t make the world go around for others.
This year, I have the opportunity to work with a group of students who have multiple and varied disabilities all together. To paint you a picture, I have Autism of different varieties, Intellectual disabilities, OHI, Learning Disabilities, and much more. Their labels don’t define my students and they LOVE becoming famous on my quotes of the day I post on social media. They’ve been coined “the comedy club” and it’s really a highlight of my and many others’ day.
A few highlights from my comedy club that make me smile & laugh.
“Flu symptoms are sore throat and other symptoms. I’m fine since I just look off. I don’t have that.” Earlier in the day, “I survived the worstest flu of the season this year.”
“Can I get a hair head or a hair and a head?”
“Miss Hahne, do I need to have condoms (he meant commas) in my composition?” After asking him to repeat it, he said “oh yeah, I meant commas. Duh!”
“Hey Aliens, it’s a great day today.” “Great day today, isn’t it?”
“When you behave bad, you go to the depths of hell.”
“Sit back and watch the clouds go by. Relax”
“I work-did already ready. Give me my reward.”
“No candy today. I lose control. No candy today.”
“How about no work and just free time today, I’m tired.”
“Take a deep breath and laugh.”
There you have it. A glimpse of the comedy club and their antics on a daily basis. They provide the laughter, smiles, and make the world go around and around each and every day. I am grateful to have the opportunity to be surrounded by such a fun and hilarious group of students daily. Their comedy makes the world a better place.
