People Are Laughing Out Loud At This Dad Who Went On A School Trip With 60 Kids And Live Tweeted The Horror
Nothing can hype you as much as a father who promises to live-tweet “adulting on a School Trip to the Science Museum.” And no one deserves more respect than a man of his word. Recently, Simon Smith from the United Kingdom volunteered to take his daughter and 59 of her classmates (including a boy who called him ‘Bruv’) on a field trip to the Kensington museum from Harlow. After Simon’s achingly funny tweets went viral, his pain became everyone’s entertainment.
There were terrible smells, annoying questions, and a never-ending road trip. Simon wrote more than 100 tweets while chaperoning, documenting the entire ordeal. To make reading this funny story shorter, we’ve gathered the highlights to show what everyone who is thinking about supervising a school field trip should expect. Scroll down to learn about failed road trip ideas and Simon’s survival techniques!

Meet Simon Smith, a father who volunteered to help out on his daughter’s school trip
It started off as an innocent event
But things quickly began getting out of hand
All the children were asked to go to the toilet before they set off but…
Then the real nightmare began
Even Simon’s own daughter was against him
If that wasn’t enough, someone started getting sick
But the children’s curiosity quickly proved to be the most annoying thing on the trip so far
After they arrived at the museum, hope was nowhere in sight
Simon kept documenting the lovely things kids were telling him
When his wife asked how things were going, Simon told the harsh truth
Eventually, the horror story moved to the gift shop
Nothing changed, even on the way back
His final tweets perfectly summed everything up
What do you think ?

Funniest thing I have read for a long long time. "fuckery" and "ear p**s" have immediately been added to my daily use vocabulary!!!

'Ear p**s' is excellent!! I already use 'fuckery' more often than I probably should.

You know how to call someone Sir, (rather than 'BRUV', and yes, I'm a part-British kid, I know sir-ing and ma'am-ing is basically automatic,) and yet you ask about... Oh goodness

I chaperoned my son's first grade field trip last year and I had to tell two boys to stop licking each other on the bus. Never again!

I would like to remind all of you who laughed your asses off at this hilarious account that middle school teachers deal with this every day. So, please remember to support your teachers, and don't vote for any a*****e who thinks that teachers are overpaid.

10 year olds... Woah it's been 3 years... I swear had more common sense than an average 10 year old. My 10 year old self still probably has more common we sense than the kids I'm surrounded by now... at least I hope so... just realised I typed up a whole inner monologue...
Charlotte Brine 7 years ago
"Woah it's been 3 years" you say that like it was years ago!! It's been 17 years for me now that's a lifetime ago!

To be far, when I was a kid I didn't really have my pee time on a schedule - I kinda went when I needed to. So telling me to go when I don't need to is just dumb. Why can't all buses have toilets. As for kids on the bus. Some are just being kids...others just need parents that teach them discipline and respect.

You weenie! I did 2(TWO!) overnight trips with my son's class. 3 nights, outdoor camp experience(thrashing in a winter creek), fainting at the sight of a gutted trout, mud,and a round of vomiting stomach virus(ever wiped vomit off a spiral staircase?). I actually miss it(he's now 31).

Welcome to teaching! ROFL 🤣 My largest class is currently 38 students. No co-teacher, no para-professional, no TA. Just me...and 38 of *them.*

Nothing like a few good farts to keep the party going. I did this myself with my son’s 6grade class. I was responsible for 6 boys(6 boys in a museum). After a while I lost themso I went to front desk to inquire about them. The woman told me to go check the “Naked Man & Woman display on the second floor.Lo and behold it looked like they were giving out free pizza. They were all fighting for the front row seats. Well at least we had some interesting topics to talk about on the way homeo

I am inspired to write on a few field trips myself. Most were delightful but there was this "one"... and I agree. I think kids eat too much spicy food these days and it doesn't react well with the air. lol.

I will never forget a birthday party for a seven year old boy - the son of married couple I am friends with. I am staying with them when the event happened. About an hour before around thirty boys and twenty girls all aged around seven were due to arrive, my friends began rushing around the house like a pair of lunatics. Curtains were not down, every single ornament was removed, furniture was dragged and placed against walls... I just stood there staring at them, wondering if they were preparing or an invasion from a resurrected Golden Horde .. Finally, both panting and sweating from their panicked exertions, they positioned themselves on either side of the front door. In came..... The Golan Horde. A screaming, shouting crocodile of around thirty boys, who was scheduled to arrive before the girls. Immediately, the sound of hundred popped balloons filled the air like fireworks. Then, like a plague of locusts, they rushed to the table with eats, an began grabbing sausageroll

I didn't think 10 year olds would cry so much? Never happened in my school trips, or the barfing or farting etc it was all very civil for the most part.

I was a teacher of 10- and 11- year olds. After one particularly memorable field trip, in which another teacher and her undisciplined students shared the same bus, I seriously considered resigning my job. So, my question is, where was the teacher management on this trip? Sounds like everyone on that bus was struggling. Also, what about the "adult" use of "s**t," "f**k," and "p**s?" These are good examples for children?
