Teachers know better than anyone that kids can be brutally honest — and unintentionally hilarious.
Teachers on Reddit recently got a chance to share their best examples of this phenomenon when an AskReddit thread posed a simple question: "What's the funniest answer you've gotten from a student that technically wasn't wrong?"
Here are the 18 best responses from educators of all grade levels.
"My first grade class was learning the word 'powerful.'"
"My first grade class was learning the word 'powerful.' Kids came up with examples of powerful things and people, like elephants and superman. Then one boy said, 'Babies are powerful because they can cry and get whatever they want.'" - Redditor Hiciao
"I asked, 'When is a time you have used integrity?'"
"I asked, 'When is a time you have used integrity?' [A student] wrote down, 'I wash my hands after going to the bathroom, even if no one is in there.'" - Redditor adjer
"I asked a 3-year-old what love was."
"I asked a 3-year-old what 'love' was for a Valentine's Day card to his parents. His response: 'Maybe love is what tornadoes need.' We call him 'the professor' because he teaches us new things every day." - Redditor FeelThe_Byrne
