A college student may have turned her professor into a One Direction fan after making a joke to her friend that was accidentally overheard by her entire online class.
Kayla Morris, a 20-year-old student at Randolph College in Virginia, opened up about the embarrassing snafu in a now-viral TikTok video, saying it all started when her math teacher, Dr. Marc Ordower, wrote 1-D on the board while talking about dimensions.
‘So I sent a video to my friend saying: “One dimension? More like One Direction,”‘ she explained, but things got a little awkward when her friend forgot to mute himself when he played the clip during class.

Whoops! Kayla Morris, a 20-year-old student at Randolph College in Virginia, opened up about her math professor, Dr. Marc Ordower, overhearing her One Direction jokje
Joke: She explained that when her teacher wrote 1-D on the board in reference to dimensions, she sent a video to her friend, saying: ‘One dimension? More like One Direction’
‘Yeah, one dimension,’ their teacher said, thinking someone was asking a question. ‘Who’s talking? Did I make…’
Another student interjected to say it was ‘a joke?’ and he should ‘just keep going,’ but he was still perplexed.
‘I hate missing jokes,’ he said.
The teacher stared at the 1-D written on the chalkboard for so long that his students thought their screens were frozen, but he was just trying to figure out the joke.
‘Is 1-D a symbol for something? Is that the joke,’ he finally asked.

She tried to explain it to her professor during class, but two guys ridiculed her for the ‘outdated’ joke and dismissed her.
‘My joke was getting roasted. I was sitting there crying, and it was just a mess,’ she said, but her professor had a kindhearted reaction to what happened.
After she emailed an explanation, he responding, writing: ‘Thanks for explaining! I’ll go look up One Direction as I’m not familiar with them. And, I’m happy that your talking and joking with your classmates. Since we’re separated, everyone has to bond somehow.’
