It was parent conference week last week. After school a former student (my 4th grader last year) came in and this is how our conversation went...
Student: Hi, Mrs. M.
Me: Hi, J!
Student: (A little upset) Why didn't you tell us you were pregnant?!
Me: Huh? Oh! Was I supposed to tell everyone?
Student: You said last year you would tell us once you were!
Me: Oh! I'm sorry! I thought everyone already knew.
Student: Oh, it's okay. Congratulations! Is it a boy or a girl?
Me: A girl.
Student: Okay, I will see you later!
Me: Thanks for visiting!
Then 30 minutes later he comes in while I'm conferencing with a parent. Walks straight in and starts talking..."Here is a blanket for the baby. It's the only one I could find with monkeys on it." Aya, I almost started tearing up. His mom makes blankets and they gave me one. So sweet!
On the same day, another student hands me a monkey and says, "This is for the baby." My students are spoiling her!
