George Pointon sent the tweets without really thinking. He only had a modest 400-odd followers, most of them friends. That term-time Wednesday morning, he’d asked his Year 1s to share their best jokes for the class. “And what they were saying,” he explains, “was just so funny, I wanted to document it somewhere, so I wouldn’t forget.” During his lunch break he posted a thread, setting out what each child had offered, alongside brutally blunt reviews, for the enjoyment of his mates:
Mikey: What did the cow say to the road? – He had a cow and then the farmer didn’t even know what to do.
