It doesn’t take much to make me laugh, just a classroom full of middle schoolers and a couple of mischievous puppies, and I’m done for. There’s something about the perfectly timed eye roll, the dramatic retelling of something that happened five minutes ago, or the confidence of a student who is completely, spectacularly wrong that gets me every time. And then you add puppies, tiny, wiggly troublemakers with zero respect for personal space or morning coffee, and it’s pure chaos in the best way. Between students trying to be sneaky (but not really succeeding) and dogs proudly trotting off with a lunchbox snack or stolen socks, I spend half my day pretending to be in charge and the other half trying not to laugh out loud. Honestly, it’s a wonder anything gets taught at all.
