HOW RUMORS GET STARTED

so with teaching the littlest ones things often get said that are quite humorous in the midst of their complete honesty and sincerity and it totally makes my day when i can come home to j with a funny work story ... it's a different story when the funny story involves you and it could turn into an accidental rumor ...

i had a consultant come in the classroom to check in and see how things were going ... we were chatting in the middle of the kids center time (which normally the kids are so involved with the activities they don't even notice what is going on around them) ... and she proceeded to tell me that she was pregnant ... very exciting ... for her

i then had a student come up to me and ask 'are you married too?' ... i of course replied 'yes' and she said 'that is so exciting!' ... 'i guess that's exciting' (i didn't think that my being married to mr. j was a big deal to them but whatever) ... she then said 'well yeah you're having a baby too!' ... at that exact moment her buddy chimed in 'you're having a baby!' and they just stood there with mouths gaping ...

time to clarify ... she is married and is pregnant ... i am married and NOT pregnant ... and now for some simple definitions ... married does not mean you are going to have a baby ... important lesson for the day

cheers ~from just a married n
