On shared humors.

“Who wants to help pass back the notecards?”
<Most ridiculous child in class.>”OH!OH! ME!ME!”
“Really.”
“Yes, I SWEAR, I’ll be respectful and stuff for the rest of the day.”
“Okay, why not.”
<I pass back grade reports silently. Student calls out names as he passes papers back, then gets to the fourth one or so.>
“Oh, here it is.” <clears throat> “DEEE-NICE? Who’s DEEE-NICE?”
<I whip around. So fast.>”Shut. Up. You watch Key and Peele?”
“Miss, YOU watch Key and Peele?”
“UM, YEAH. That clips is like my life. I’ve been OBSESSING about it this week. You can as Mrs. Williams.”
“Same. Same.”

In case you haven’t seen it…
