Well there was alot of meaningless chatter at one of the synagogues I work at on how I would tell my students I was pregnant. They weren't okay when they found out I was pregnant without a husband/boyfriend b/c they thought it was a one night stand- BUT when they found out I was a Single Mother by Choice, they suddenly bowed down and were like "anything we can do for you- its yours!"- not really, but a sudden change of thought.
So I had to prepare a special email that was attached to a principal's email, and it was sent to the parents... Fast forward to today when I told my students.. Ready?
"I just want to tell you that I am pregnant with a baby boy..." I go on to talk about how I am leaving and there will be a new teacher, etc, etc... So what questions was I peppered with??? Ones about the birds and the bees? Being without a husband?
No :) Here are the questions I got verbatim:
1) When a chicken lays an egg, does it have to go to the hospital?
2) What happens when a chicken is sick- where does it go?
Mind you I didn't mention either chickens or being sick :)
So allll the meaningless worry was for not! I was like "hmm, we aren't talking about chickens right now." ;) It was fun... it was really cute actually.
