We’re all trying our hardest right now to patch together something that looks like a functioning life. We’re doing online or hybrid school, we’re working from home, we’re wearing masks, we’re explaining as best as can to our kids.
Humor is one of the only ways we’re keeping it together, though – that old adage, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry seems truer than ever.
And so, without further ado, I present to you 11 hilarious moments that never would have been possible without online school.
11. A romance for the ages.
You gotta make do.

10. Every day is a good day to wear a crazy hat.
Dreams really do come true.

9. Like I said, we’re all doing our best.
That includes professors.

1. I mean maybe you still are.
If you taught him to be so clever.
On Zoom my student made his “camera off” picture a shot of him in his bedroom staring straight into the camera looking thoughtful
For two days I just thought I was being an amazing teacher

I’m dying, and thankful that we’re still all able to laugh.
But I think we’ll all still be thankful and ready when things finally go back to “normal.”
