I went to a funeral in first grade and my teacher wanted to make feel better when I came back to school, so she got everyone in the class to write a message on a coloured piece of paper. My favourite card was this girl who wrote "dear Heidi, sorry your grandpa died. Today we saw a fire truck!!" And then she had drawn a picture of stick figure her holding a fire truck hose.
This is silly but when I was reading that as soon as I read "Dear Heidi" I instinctively looked back at your username and said to myself "yep, checks out". Some time I have no idea why I do the things I do.
My (4 or 5 year old) son said we needed to get him a daddy. I asked him how we should go about that? He said "You should go to the park, sit next to someone else's daddy, hit him on the head and bring him home'! 😂😂 OK son.
@@fatherfountain1906 Not sure if you're joking or whether you're simple 😂 in case it's the latter, obviously she meant he was around 4/5 yrs old *when it happened* and she doesn't remember exactly because presumably it was a while ago.
There was a video clip of a young boy licking his hand and then turning the page in the book, instead of using his licked finger to help him turn the next page. The misinterpretation was adorable
My friend when he was in 5th grade came up with the rap line, "My name is Bryan and I'm here to say, I'm the greatest raper in the U.S.A." We couldn't understand why the teacher was laughing when reading his rap poem until he pointed out that he misspelled rapper.
When my older sister started teaching primary school, one Y3-4 boy had written for his creative writing piece "and then he raped them in a blanket". Obviously the kid meant wrapped, but we had to laugh.
Decades ago there was a joke list of misspellings by students in history classes. One was about the invention of a new agricultural tool, a mechanical reaper, by Cyrus McCormick. The line was, "and then he invented the McCormick Raper which did the work of a hundred men."
Laughed the whole damn way through this haha. Wow, I've seen one of Wallaims books Gangsta Granny in my uni library. I was going to borrow it but had fines on my student card... I'm curious if I'll be as amused as Molly, aged 8.. :)
Anyone else noticed that Richard doesn't laugh at any point during this clip (unlike the comedic giants sat next to him)? Each of the kid's letter's get a brief smile of approval and no more. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen him laugh. Is he so much of a wit that he's hard to humour, or is chuckling out loud just not his thing?
It's just that the deadpan mannerism is his thing. He does find it funny, it's just that he chooses not to laugh because it's part of his character. I also believe he's not the type to laugh out loud, anyways. I mean, the way he's smiling faintly, I think that's the best he can do. That's like his lol face.
Obviously, the kid meant to write “deck.” But now I’m curious as to what you call that in the UK since none of those people seemed to have heard of a deck.
We have a thing outside called "decking" which is like a patio but made of wood. I think we could call "deck" a "terrace" instead. Unless decking is the proper name for a deck.
Walt, that’s David Williams? I mean I love his books but that’s just not what I thought he looked like. I’ve seen him before but I didn’t know it was him
Ahhh... for the letter the child wrote when they wrote "dick", they meant bike! They wrote the 'b' the wrong way round, heard the 'i' correctly but when they heard the 'k', they didn't think about the silent e so assumed that it was written 'ck', so if you put it all together, it makes "dick"! After working with kids, it's easy to work out things like that!

I love how Richard was sitting there the whole time shaking and nodding his head and making one comment in the whole video :D
And yet he is the best thing about it. Quality over quantity innit.
i’m surprised they didn’t put his name in the title just for that

CAPTAIN yep, it's safe somewhere, so whenever I find it I get a hilarious and morbid laugh from it.

"Fell off your deck" (Deck is another word for Verandah here in Australia).
Thats the likeliest answer. Its the same in America
These letters aren't written by English kids
john nelson where tf am I 🤔😬
It's the same in America. I guess in the UK they don't use "deck" as a word for veranda or porch made of wood and elevated.
Yeah we use the word deck in England too, probably is what it meant.
or it could be desk, more likely for a child in class to see that...
It's how Graham reads it!
Why can't I find my own Richard Ayoade instead of dreaming about someone else's. Is it normal to fancy Moss?
Relatable, have a nice day.
I came here for Ayoade
Simon Law same
Me too.
Same
Same
We all did
The punching the mom in the face comment is the best ever! I love Graham! :D
Graham Norton is my highlight on Friday nights (which is kind of sad) and no matter how good the show is, Richard makes everything better
Part of my great niece's poem to the cat when it died : "We're so sad you had to go. Merry Christmas, hoh, ho, ho"! Love how kids have no filter x
My (4 or 5 year old) son said we needed to get him a daddy.
I asked him how we should go about that?
He said "You should go to the park, sit next to someone else's daddy, hit him on the head and bring him home'! 😂😂
OK son.
How do you not know the age of your son
HyperREKZboss2 I get the impression this happened many years ago and her son was either 4 or 5 at the time and she can’t remember which
@HyperREKZboss2 - How are your comprehension skills so poor? ;)
what's funny is that you finally found someone so your son was happy in the end

I'm writing to you 'cause you're my second favourite author!
🤣👌🏻
2:14 plot twist that wasn't a spelling mistake
Deck lol, the word is deck! Can't stop laughing.
The kid is like writing an review for David Walliams book. Amazing
I love David Walliams. So glad to laugh with him
There was a video clip of a young boy licking his hand and then turning the page in the book, instead of using his licked finger to help him turn the next page. The misinterpretation was adorable
i'm pretty sure the kid meant Deck instead of Dick not bike lol
Or maybe dock? One of the above, I guess.
Desk?
Flurdturd you’re the writer aren’t you 😂
@@themusicalscout1 yeah I used to confuse my b's and d's
The problem with Arsenal is that they always try to walk it in
Thomas Armitage So you did see that ludicrous display last night
Well they fucked up this year too
HA! =P
Why did I read that in a dalek voice?!
David has a moment of panic when he realises that the next bit isn’t all about him 😂

Came here for Richard.
This is so funny it brought a tear to my eye.

All a bit mundane if you ask me, It was probably just courtesy smiles
His whole 'thing' is being very straight faced and kind of aloof, but very smart sounding. Anyways I find him hilarious personally.
watch travel man. he laughs all the time
I dunno, some people don't audibly laugh very often so maybe he's just one of those
It's just that the deadpan mannerism is his thing. He does find it funny, it's just that he chooses not to laugh because it's part of his character.

that should read "fell off your deck"
0:55 - I love how this girl has a lot to say, but has no concept of commas or full stops.
The second letter is soooo sweet
Hillarious! Graham Norton never fails to make me laugh!!
0:52. Haha Graham know know to read in a funny tone 😂😂
I'd go with "fell off your deck"
donna....
They are poppies for Remembrance Day on the 11th November to remember the fallen soldiers in WW
"Fell off your deck."
Holy shit the kid at 1:43 has some amazing handwriting for a kid
Theory, Dicky Ayoade has never laughed
It was obviously supposed to be deck. Lol.
"Fell off your deck..." I'd say.
I felt like I was on drugs when Graham was reading the letter
"Fll off your dick"="fell off your deck". Too funny, I just died
'Fell off your deck'
A young draco malfoy wrote that billionare boy letter.
I think the teacher had fallen off her "desk".
It makes more sense to be on a deck than a desk. Who regularly stands on a desk?
So funny even in 2020! Our fateful year at least felt...
Greetings from Germany 🧡🧡🧡
None of these spelling errors would even be noteworthy with American children.
Word of the day: *DECK*

Omg I’m crying laffing 😂
Maybe that teacher fell off the deck.......
2:28 She must have meant "fell off your desk".
This is like a celebrity internet melts
Thanks for posting.
Fell off your deck.....i am loving this!
Fell of her deck.
Fell off your deck probably. My Dad's the best cook ever I believe.

Em Radford 👀👀
When I used to watch Little Britain years ago, I honestly thought he was gay.
@@bozieduble8541 So did I. But he was married to Victoria's Secret model Lara Stone and they have a child together, so probably not.
My brother in law, at age 9, spelt "Ninja", "Niga". It was a whole 4 sentences, and he used the word about 6 times 😂 That was fun.
Fell of the deck

The way he reads them tho 👌👌

Deck! She fell off the deck!
Hmm why are they finding it so hard to read "fell of your deck"? This teacher obviously fell off of a dam rigged deck.
That last one, wth? lol
Fell off your deck

the 'meth' one was also on Ellen
Probably a deck...
