The Old School Bench

There are times when laughing is inappropriate.  As much as you want to snigger when a young violinist says, "Miss, my G string's gone all floppy.", the explanation of why you are laughing would be just too embarrassing.
Children don't need much encouragement to giggle at rudeness.  Today we sang about bottoms wriggling on chairs and the bosom of Abraham and both caused a few titters.

School PE benches are really badly designed.  Whilst being brilliant for sitting lots of children on there are two lumps at each end of the bench where the feet are fixed and so two unfortunate children have to sit on them.
Today one of the unlucky children announced, "Miss, I'm having trouble fitting between the two knobs!"
Did I giggle? What do you think?
