martymas Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 im posting this to show how wonderful and innocent children can be i love this story it was told me me originally by an x school mistress .years ago but has emerged again martyShow and Tell --------------------------------------------------------------------------------By an Anonynous 2nd grade teacher: I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth-story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back. When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it to school and talk about it, theyre more than welcome. Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I am going to tell you about his birthday. First mom and dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then dad put a seed in moms stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrealla cord." Shes standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement. "Then about two saturdays ago, my mom starts saying and going "Oh, oh, oh!" Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. "She walked around the house for, like a hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!" Now the kid's doing this hysterical duck walk, holding her back and groaning. "My dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesnt have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my mom to lie down in bed like this." Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall. "And then, pop! My mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!" This kid has her legs spread and with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much! "Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push, and breathe, breathe.' They started counting, but never even go past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff, they all said was from moms play center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there." Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then it its show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another Erica comes along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
