One day, a boy ran to the school nurse saying his tooth was falling out. The nurse prepared all the things to deal with a loose tooth. But when she looked, the tooth was actually a fake one from a Halloween costume that got stuck in his mouth. He was so embarrassed and we all had a good laugh.
One memorable story was when a student came to the nurse thinking he was having a heart attack because his heart was beating fast.

There was this time when a student came in claiming to have been bitten by a'spider the size of a baseball'. The school nurse was a bit worried at first.

And the way he described the'spider attack' was hilarious, like it was some kind of monster from a horror movie.
Sure. Once, a little boy came to the school nurse thinking he had a broken arm because he couldn't move it. After a careful check, the nurse found out that his sleeve was just stuck on a chair knob. The look on his face when he realized was hilarious.

There was a time when our school cafeteria served some really strange - looking food. One of my friends dared another to eat it all. As he was eating, his face was making the funniest expressions.
