Phew! It has been a busy couple of weeks! No time for blogging! In Virginia, we don't start school until the Tuesday after Labor Day, and the beginning of the year is always a hectic time. Add to that the fact that I have been out of town the past two weekends (so that's every weekend since we started)--I am definitely ready to get back to a normal schedule this weekend.
Anyway, I have a feeling that my students will be the source of some amusement for the blog. Take this story, for example.
Two days after school began I had to leave an hour early for yet another ultrasound appointment. I explained to the kids that I was going to a doctor's appointment, which, as usual, had them concerned. The kids always get worried when their teacher has to go to the doctor. I assured them that I wasn't sick, the doctor just wanted to take a picture of the baby to make sure she was growing okay. "What baby?" they wanted to know. I replied, "Well, the baby in my belly of course!"
They were completely flabbergasted that I had a baby in my stomach. "A baby? There's a baby in there? You're having a baby?" they asked in disbelief.
"Why, yes! Did you think that I was just fat?" I wanted to know. A little sheepishly, one of the girls replied, "Well, we would never actually tell you that."
At least they're polite.
