That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 27, 2020

“Deutschland, Deutschland über alles” always gives them a Lyft.

I see we have a clear winner for the next one to wear the donkey head…

The Munchkins rehearsing their scene for ”Wizard of Oz.”

The last ones to close their mouths get a potato.

The Tabernacle Choir in its infancy.

“How do you solve a problem like Mari-ahhhhhhhhhh?”

the village school apparently had no budget for desks…

Did you also yawn after reading the caption?

Good one….I love your captions!❤️

“B A bay, B E be, B I bickey bi, B O bo,…”

The Youth Choir rehearsal was off to a rocky start.

Santa, tired of off-key caroling, finally brought in a voice teacher for the elves.

You know which child was the teacher’s pet – he’s the one he’s the one standing next to Teacher, holding teacher’s dog.

Glory Glory HallelujahTeacher hit me with the rulah

Not that Kinder Totenlieder again!

Teacher explaining the “trickle-down” theory. (Somewhat diminished by the fact that the funds for desks and seating had yet to trickle down far enough.)

The classroom’s a shabby affair:/ seems like learning’s impossible there !/ But this is the source/ of the Afrika Korps/ so, France and Britannia, beware !

Now pay attention kinder, when swearing, the most important part is to get a higher intonation on the “Oh” and lower the intonation on the vulgarity otherwise it just doesn’t have the proper zing.

The students were told that it was a good school for personal growth. They’re still waiting.

“Yes, yes, now bring me the class whipping boy.”

America’s underfunded classrooms, circa oh, right about now.

“Ist das nicht ein Schnitzelbank/Ja…”

Teacher: I have tried to stuff your brains with arithmetic.

Students: Rithmetic is tough, we can’t make it stick.

Guest lecturer Michael Scott went a little over on his allotted time…

Little Donny Drumpf was the loudest in the choir

He was mean and cruel, a bully and a liar

Although he wore the finest clothes you could ever choose

He was forced to go about barefoot, ’cause Joe B. stole his shoes.

Bored boys in the background!

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, Chrome can automatically translate as necessary, and askart.com can be read for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.

has the prior (my comment the same artist info URLs, the second of which may be unresponsive).

Now I’m yawning!

Hans thought it would be a hoot to make Johann think that Mary was tickling him. Unfortunately, he forgot how fast Mary could swing her slate.

It’s amazing that the kids were able to hold those yawns the entire time the artist was painting them.

“Come on, now, baby birds. Whoever answers the question correctly gets a nice, juicy worm!”

I know it’s freezing kids, you will be able to put your shoes on after you solve this math problem.

See here is where we put our gum. Open up so I can make sure none of you stick it under your desk!
