Today marks the inaugural joke in my Kid’s Konfusion Laughter Category, and as I hope you’ll see, life as a child is not exactly what our eyes might tell us at first glance.

A boy starting kindergarten, a few weeks after school has begun, is told by the principal as she leads him to his classroom, “Your teacher will introduce you to each of the pupils in class, so you’ll know everyone and feel right at home.”  At the end of the day, he tells his folks how fun it was to meet the other kids.

The next week, he has to miss school because of some vision problems.  His mom takes him to the eye clinic, where the ophthalmic technician starts by saying, “I’m going to need to look at your pupils.”  The young patient looks ups and says, “You can’t…they’re all at school today.”
