I love how Richard was sitting there the whole time shaking and nodding his head and making one comment in the whole video :D

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.

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

[@PinothyJ]

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.

"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

[@emmajane96]

john nelson where tf am I 🤔😬

[@loris7660]

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.

[@blue9695]

Yeah we use the word deck in England too, probably is what it meant.

[@SevCaswell]

or it could be desk, more likely for a child in class to see that...

[@Kafei]

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.

[@bozieduble8541]

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.

[@randomobserver8168]

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."

[@sabrinaislam28]

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.. :)

Thanks for posting.

[@kamalafzali6910]

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?

[@consolios]

All a bit mundane if you ask me, It was probably just courtesy smiles

[@smithmcsmith9218]

watch travel man. he laughs all the time

[@GiantSandles]

I dunno, some people don't audibly laugh very often so maybe he's just one of those

[@TheDisKit]

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.

[@smithmcsmith9218]

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.

[@charlottebarlow226]

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.
