sixth grade talent show

On Thursday, there was a Sixth Grade Talent Show.  SJ tried out a few weeks ago with two of his buddies.  They decided to do a stand up comedy skit.  SJ was the funny guy and his buddies were the straight men.  

The first time they tried out SJ explained the jokes before he did them.  The teacher in charge, Mr. M, asked him to try out again.  He told me to tell him not to explain the jokes just tell them.  I passed that on to SJ.  

He did much better at the second tryout, so they made the show.  I was a little worried that he wouldn't do well, but I was informed that he was quite funny.  This is their script.

J: It is time for comedy acts.
O: With your host, SJ.
S: Thank you everyone.  Ok, are you ready for some jokes?
S: All righty then, let's get started.

1st joke

J walks. 
S: No walking in the hallways please.
O and J walks.
S: I said no walking in the hallways!
O: Sorry.

2nd joke

S: Let me tell you something.  Laugh, everybody laughs with you. Fart, they'll stop laughing.

3rd joke

O: All right, SJ, your word is relief.
S: Relief, F-A-R-T, relief.

4th joke

S: You guys are very great, but I have to go now.  Can someone tell me where the bathroom is?

5th joke

J: Tell me a true fact.
S: Ok, teachers say our future depends on our dreams, but they won't let us sleep in class.

6th joke

S: Every time we write an essay, there are two things.  1. My fingers stick together. 2. I'm clearly allergic to lined paper.

7th joke

S: Hey Oliver, you want to play video games?
O: No way SJ you always beat me.
S: TELL NO ONE!!!

8th joke

S: You're banned.
J: I'm just looking for the bathroom.
S: You're banned from that too.
J: I'm banned from the bathroom?
S: Every bathroom.
J: Noooooo!!!!

9th joke

S: Oliver, where are you?
O: I just got back from Target and think I forgot something.
S: Yeah, you forgot me.
O: Oh crap!

10th joke

S: Hey Jack, did you eat my sandwich?
J: I'm your sandwich.
S: Wait what?

S: Well, that is all we have got.  I'm SJ.
O and J: And we're Oliver and Jack.
S: If you want to hear more jokes, come to me and I will tell you a joke.
S, O and J: Goodbye

I heard from another teacher that SJ did such a great job.  His delivery made the jokes much funnier than they actually were.  He was cracking himself during the show.  The students were laughing with him not at him.  I am so proud that my PDD son is able to do something like a talent show.  Great job SJ and buds!
