Being a teacher is certainly no walk in the park. It takes a lot of patience and maturity to properly deal with and manage young students in a pleasant and educational way.

One of the things that made school more tolerable was the random funny moments that would occur every now and then and brighten the mood up. It is one of the few times you get a break from education and can just laugh about the situation with everyone else.

Teachers often dislike anything that could distract students from getting their education. But sometimes, you can't help but have a good laugh about some genuinely funny moments.

As long as these moments were not intentionally created to disrupt the class, there is no harm in having a quick break. It all depends on the teacher and whether they have a sense of humor or not; some are too strict and do not allow anything to let their class derail.

Teachers of the BuzzFeed Community were asked to share their funniest classroom moments where their students did or said something that was considered funny. The responses were interesting and hilarious in the most unpredictable ways. Scroll down and check it out!

1. "I had a child sitting at their desk who was really fidgety and uncomfortable looking. I asked if everything was alright, and they said, 'I have to fart so bad, I think I'm gonna get a migraine.'"

"I gathered myself and asked if they needed to step into the hall for a second. The fart was the loudest I've ever heard, and it carried over into my class. I had to open all the windows!"

2. "I taught at a private Christian daycare. We had an older lady who would come in once a week and do storytime with my prekindergarten class."

"She was talking about how Jesus raised someone from the dead when a little boy shouted, 'Like a zombie?!' She did not think it was as funny as I did."

3. "My third graders and I were reading a Jewish folktale together. We came to the word ‘rabbi,' and I asked if any of them knew what that was."

"They all sat silently, trying to figure out what it meant, when one student raised his hand and shouted out, 'I know what it is! A rabbi is a steak!' It took me a moment to figure out what he was talking about, but then it clicked and I had to explain that he was thinking of a ‘ribeye,' and that he shouldn’t pour steak sauce on a rabbi. I couldn’t stop giggling at that one."

7. "I've been teaching elementary school music for 17 years, so I've seen a lot.”

"The best was the day my classroom mysteriously smelled like artificial cinnamon — really strong cinnamon. I asked my students if they smelled it too, and they were like, 'Yeah, what is that?' One kid raised his hand and said, 'That's me. I ran out of deodorant today, so I used these instead.' He proceeded to pull up his shirt sleeves to show us that he had tied those tree-shaped car air fresheners around his upper arms, in lieu of deodorant. I was impressed by the resourcefulness, but also like, 'Why, bud?' Needless to say, I went to the store and bought him some deodorant during my lunch break."

'MY DOG IS GETTING HIS BALLS CUT OFF TODAY!' My sis gets major points for only losing it for a half a second, and then replying, 'Well, it sounds like you’ll need to be extra gentle with him for a few days.'"

I called my husband on speakerphone, and the whole class told him I was grumpy and they needed him to bring me coffee. He did. They made my day. I taught that group for first and second grade. Best group EVER!"

"They began asking me a million questions, offering name suggestions, and one student even asked to see the ultrasound. Well, the very next day, my principal stopped in the room like he does each day to greet students and collect notes for the office. As soon as he entered the room, and before he even had a chance to get a word out, the same student that asked to see the ultrasound stood up and blurted out, 'Did you know Mrs. Romano is pregnant and I’m going to be the godmom?' I laughed so hard I cried."
