T = Me.
S = Student.

T:  See if you can guess my word.  Br - ead.
S:  Bread.
T:  J - oke.
S:  Joke.
T:  D - ice.
S:  Dice.
T:  Th - ing.
S:  Thing.
T:  J - acket.
S:  Jacket.
T:  Gr - ow.
S:  Grow.
T:  C- art.
S:  Ca - BURRRRRPPPP - rt.


T:  LOLOLOLOL.  i am thuh WORST at holding a teacher-poker face. 

S:  (very matter-of-fact but enjoying his teacher's age-appropriate* sense of humor; holds hand up in a polite "stop" sort of motion and uses the most amazing, gentlemanly, surprised-sounding inflection)  Oh! Excuse me!  ...I had cinnamonbuns for breakfast.   

It has to be written this way 

cinnamonbuns

and this way 

for breakfast

so you get the full effect of how he said it, a bit quick with that perfect inflection. 

*not age appropriate at all.

T:  LOLOLOLOLOLOL    AHHH, HAHAHAHA. 
S:  (leans across his side of the table into my side of the table... totally serious, but again, enjoying the fact that he just made his teacher laugh to tears)  Now c'mon, Miss, we have a lot of work to do!  

GoodNESS,

I love my job.
