I'm Kind of a Big Deal
I'm just so full of awesome that I had to get some of it out.

No freaking wonder she always looks wild-and-crazy-eyed.

Jarikah came home today and was telling me the usual stories from her day of 4th grade. Today, she was saying, as I was only half-listening (I know! Bad parent alert!), that when her teacher said when she has her baby, she will bring it to see the kids. I said, after the phrase, "has her baby" caught my attention, "Oh, your teacher is having a baby?" She said, while rolling her eyes, (see what you have to look forward to? Attitude, all day long.), "No, mom, not yet."
Me: But she's trying to have one?
J: Yes, for over a year.
Me: She said that? To you guys?
J: Yes.
Me: hmm
J: She had a surgery that will help her have a baby. Don't you remember, when I had a substitute?
Me: Oh, yeah, I remember.
J: I told her that you couldn't have a baby, either. And that you have tried for more than 6 years.
Me: you said that?
J: yeah. Why?
Me: Nevermind.

Won't we have a wonderful conversation topic for the next parent-teacher meeting?

LOL!!! You would be so surprised if you knew what kids say about their parents. They have no shame in telling your deepest, darkest secrets & fears.

"No freaking wonder she always looks wild-and-crazy-eyed." Are you talking about me?!? Oh no, it couldn't be, I'm a 3rd grade teacher! LOL! Take care, Cara A
