“Don’t you get it?” Mr. Day asked. “The thief delivered hero rolls and he stole dime rolls.”
“I got it,” Dr. Prell said. “It’s just not funny.”
Eric said, “But we know who would think that’s funny. Don’t we, Cam?”
Cam and Eric laughed. “Danny,” they said together.
Dr. Prell said, “He told me the silliest joke this morning. It was about a talking sunflower.”
“We heard it,” Eric told her.
“Let’s go back to class,” Cam said, “but not to hear more jokes. This afternoon Ms. Benson is teaching us geometry, something about triangles. I don’t want to miss it.”
Cam and Eric went back to class.
