So. My primary class today. For any who need catching up, I teach 8 year old girls at church. I noticed they were all looking at me a little funny- and then towards the end on particuarly boisterous little girl said:
“Are you pregnant?”
Before I could even say yes, the little girl to her left opened her eyes wide and informed her:
“You NEVER, never, never, never ask a woman if she’s pregnant. She could just be putting on weight.”
The first little girl answered back,
“But it’s just in her belly, not in her butt!”
Good to know girls. Good to know.
But the conversation didn’t stop there. The little girl who insisted that you NEVER ask someone if they are pregnant (actually a good rule, I informed her) went on to ask:
“Are you having a girl, or a boy?” (without waiting for an answer) “You know, if you get a boy first, you should ask for a girl next. But if you get a girl first, you should ask for a boy next. But if you get TWO boys in a row, it’s you’re husband’s fault.”
Third girl interjects:
“Why is it the Dad’s fault?”
Other girl continues:
“Well, you see. The Dad gives the Mom a sperm. If it’s a boy sperm, then it’s a boy baby! If it’s a girl sperm, it’s a girl baby! It’s not like he gets to choose really, but it’s still his fault. My Mom told me that.”
Another one pipes up:
“What’s a sperm?”
And at that point, I ended the conversation and made them go to their next class….hoping that I don’t get a phone call later.
LOL that is hilarious!
Hi Erin! Thanks for the advice and such! It’s so good to know that there is something out there that works! :)
I am excited to see what my sunbeams say when I start showing. The things that come out of their mouth already…it’s going to be an adventure.
Also? I’d seriously think of switching doctors. It’s a pain, I know, but you really should get one you love! You makes time! I had a gyno in SLC that my friend told me to visit and I saw her once and called it quits. Just like that woman, one foot out of the door, I barely even heard her say to get undressed and stuff. I was so happy I switched! You definitely deserve to feel good about your doctor, it’s a big thing!
Kimba’s right; you should find a new doc/midwife you’re happy with. This isn’t like you’re going in for something generic – it’s your baby! Definitely be picky. It’s your right!
Too funny about your class conversation. It’s Wednesday – no calls yet?
