joking

"She was in high spirits," says Friend A. "She was joking around."

Away from the pitch, he was a family man and always spoke about his children, sometimes joking about how he was struggling to help his son with his maths homework.

“I learned in the first three days not to say you live in L.A. I would be immediately corrected, and it wouldn’t be in a joking manner,” she says.

After reading the apparent confession, the roommate, who has not been named and is co-operating with investigators, replied: "What?????????????? You're joking, right????"

With that on people’s minds, it’s no wonder that joking about taking money away from kids did not go over well.
