Childhood! Wasn’t it the best part of our lives? So much so that we constantly wish we could get back to being children again! Get back to being our little naughty selves, make merry, and of course, go to school again! And yes, we’re sure, we all had a favorite teacher too. However, have we ever wondered what it was like for our teachers? It sure wouldn’t have been easy handling a bunch of kids who drove them over the edge, right? Colm Cuffe, an elementary school teacher from Galway, Ireland, is one such adorable teacher. While he loves his job, and the children, there’s no denying the fact that it stresses him out too. So, he found a unique to beat that stress – by drawing comics.
Aptly titled “When’s It Hometime”, he posts his comics, which are not only hilarious but also completely relatable, on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as well. And his thousands of followers are loving each of them. We’re sure that they’ll leave you in splits too. So, here are few of Colm’s comics:

This is one student who doesn’t believe in the poem, we guess. Come to think of it, what’s the fun in playing outside if the rain goes away?

You can stop going to school, but the school never stops following the teacher in you, does it?
