In preschool, I confessed my love to my crush, and she rejected me. As heartbroken as I was, I sucked it up and went back to teaching.
Preschool Teacher Confession
Categories
Explanation
Experiment
This joke plays on the unexpected twist of a preschooler being a teacher. The setup sounds like a typical childhood crush story, but the punchline reveals a humorous incongruity. The listener is led to believe the speaker is a child experiencing heartbreak, but is then shocked to discover that the speaker is actually the teacher of the class and was merely confessing their feelings to another preschooler. It's funny because it's absurd and doesn't make sense within the context of preschool.
