Who Wants to be a Millionaire!
So this teacher decides to give her 5th grade class an essay assignment. She asks the class, “What would you do with a million dollars?” All the kids start scribbling sentences, when off to the side sat this young just staring ahead. The says, “ Linda, did you not understand the question?” The girl responds, “ yes, ma’am I did, I’m waiting for my secretary.

Lol. Cute. 🤣 Oh, that’s a classic! I burst out laughing at the punchline. This joke is a perfect example of how kids can sometimes outwit adults with their unexpected logic.
The humor works brilliantly here:
- Setup: A typical classroom scenario that everyone can relate to—a teacher giving an essay assignment. It’s a universal experience, setting a familiar stage.
- Common Question: “What would you do with a million dollars?” is a daydream topic we’ve all pondered, especially as kids. It invites the audience to subconsciously start answering in their minds.
- Expected Reaction: The image of kids eagerly scribbling their fantasies—sports cars, mansions, endless candy—is both heartwarming and amusing.
- The Twist: Then there’s Linda, just staring ahead. Her inaction breaks the pattern, creating tension and curiosity.
- Teacher’s Assumption: The teacher, like most adults would, assumes Linda is confused. It’s a natural adult response, thinking a child not participating must not understand.
- The Punchline: “I’m waiting for my secretary.” BAM! 💥 It’s so unexpected, yet perfectly logical in a child’s mind. In one line, Linda flips the power dynamic.
This joke is brilliant because it showcases the unfiltered, sometimes brutally honest world of kids. In an adult’s “What would you do?” fantasy, we might think of investments or travel. But a child? They might just think, “Why do the work myself when I’m rich?”
Linda’s response also pokes fun at adult behavior. Many high-powered executives do have secretaries, so in her mind, she’s just acting like the successful adult she envisions. It’s a hilarious mirror held up to grown-up attitudes.
I’ve heard this joke before, but it always cracks me up. It’s a timeless bit of humor that reminds us that kids aren’t just smaller versions of adults—they have their own, often hysterical, way of seeing the world. Thanks for the big laugh! 😄
