In this dynamic episode of Teaching Keating, Molly and Weston dive into the world of humor, debating whether you can teach someone to be funny. Weston confesses his love for funny people, sharing stories of his friend’s squirrel-induced 911 call, while Molly defends her knack for laughing at her own jokes, like her classic “Winnie’s Poo” bit. They swap laughs over their differing senses of humor—Weston’s penchant for clumsy mishaps versus Molly’s love for clever wordplay—and explore how humor lightens family and classroom life. Molly’s call to embrace laughter inspires a fresh approach to finding joy in the everyday.

In this episode: * Molly and Weston tackle the question: can you teach someone to be funny? * A heartfelt look at Weston’s awkward gas station gaffe versus Molly’s repetitive joke-telling. * Weston’s take on how humor stems from ludicrous responses to the mundane. * Their goal: foster a lighthearted home and classroom by celebrating humor.
