The 'Middle Wife' by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher
I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday.'
'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.
'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.) 'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this. ' (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.)
'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!)
'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center, so there must be a lot of toys inside there.'
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along.

Phonics
I'm not a big fan of forwarding emails, so I'll share jokes here :)
Jake is 5 and learning to read.
He points at a picture in a zoo book and says,
'Look Mama! It's a frickin' Elephant!'
Deep breath... 'What did you call it?'
'It's a frickin' Elephant, Mama! It says so on the picture and so it does ...
'A f r i c a n Elephant'
Hooked on phonics!!! Ain't it wonderful?

California - Day Two
Day two started off with me being a total blonde and bonehead... I opened the closet door and wondered why the heck there was a tiny microwave in the closet! But being a moron.... umm... it was a room safe, LOL. So Jason then picks me up and I discovered I'm surrounded by mountains at this hotel. You'd think I would have like, oh, looked outside? LOL, but keep in mind that when I landed and took a cab to the hotel it was dark outside.
My experiences for today... it's a long drive no matter where you want to go! Saw the Hollywood sign while driving, but no good chances for a picture. I didn't know where to expect it, so at the good spots I didn't have the camera ready. Drove down Hollywood Blvd for a bit, saw lots of costumed characters on the streets taking pictures with people. Found a parking deck and then headed up to the street, walked out right in the middle of Marilyn Monroe, the Storm Troopers, and Captain Jack Sparrow! Also discovered I was standing on the walk of stars. We walked by El Capitan, and came to the front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. There I met Charlie Chaplin and took my picture with him :) Zig-zagged through the mall setting and then discovered Jason was trying to find a particular spot with a perfect view of the Hollywood sign on the hill!! Mission accomplished, happy day!
Heading back to the car, decided to drive out to Santa Monica pier. Beautiful beach and wonderful weather are a good combo. Parked and walked through the 4th Street Promenade. There was a street performer like every 50 feet. Walked out all the way to the end of the pier and looked out across the Pacific Ocean. Is very cool to look out and see nothing but ocean as far as you can see. I can certainly see why Columbus thought the world was flat :) Fulfilling another mission, I stopped by Hooters to pick up a t-shirt for my uncle so that he has one from California.
Took forever and an extra two days to make it home, horrible traffic, and driving out there we broke it up by stopping in Hollywood before going all the way to the beach. Just a note, gas prices range from about $3.11 to $3.23. Jason is a wiz at driving and checking google maps on his phone, so we switched freeways several times to get back sooner.
And to end a wonderful day, I trotted over to the Chipotle restaurant I can see from the front of my hotel and had myself a burrito with my own chicken! And even better... there was a pizza place also selling Gelato so I'm enjoying vanilla topped with cinnamon and pecans :)

California - Day One!
Good Lord I'm tired! But it's been a good birthday :)
XNA, it's a breeze to get through. No problems with the flight. Three people looked at my driver's license and didn't notice it's my birthday... the bums! Got to Atlanta, and rather than have only 37 minutes to change flights, I took the noon flight and had a three hour layover. I toured all the terminals and they were boring.
Chose to have lunch at Chili's and have a Long Island, hey it's my birthday, I'm not driving, I'm entitled! And she didn't notice it was my birthday either...... Couple of phone calls later, much boredom, and finally boarded the flight east. Long long long flight. In-flight movie was The Jane Austen Book Club. Was pretty good! The girl in the seat next to me was cool to talk to, but I never got her name. But after a 4½ hour flight I was stiff and tired and exhausted and just wanted to stretch. Took a cab to the hotel (hotel paid for it, that's their version of "free shuttle"), and stretched out in every direction on the bed, LOL.
Jason was minutes behind me, so I didn't get to relax long! I walked out the door of the hotel, and there was a Chipotle restaurant right across the street!!! I had to call Becky and tell her, she got a kick out of it. Jason and I went to Fudruckers for food, ok, dessert for me, and then we took a drive out to the beach at night. Very very beautiful, peaceful, and the only sounds you could hear were the waves crashing. I don't think the pictures I took will turn out, but the ones in my mind are priceless :) Also drove by lots of expensive car dealerships, but I wasn't inclined to take any pictures, hehe. More later!

Wal-Mart Trip #2
Ok, first off, WHERE THE HELL IS MY GELATO??????????????? It's not fair, I guess they're like Godiva, get you hooked on something sinful and then freakin take it away! UGH
So I went to Wal-Mart for the sole purpose of getting some gelato because I decided I reallllly wanted some. Also decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and get gas while I was there.
THIS TIME I remembered that my phone had a camera, and I tried to take a picture, but by the time I got it out and on, the dude quit doing his little tai chi/karate looking poses in the little attendants booth. Perhaps he heard me laughing......... hehehe.
Had to share one more story :)
p.s. I bought Breyer's Fried Ice Cream instead...

I have GOT to use my camera phone more
So I'm in Wal-Mart, not a big deal right? I'm in the checkout, and I hear a horrrrrrible crash. Then some woman went running, so I figure her kid knocked something over, but then there was more crashing, and about 20 people went toward the front to see what was up. Curiosity getting the better of me, I had to go look too. I was also remembering I have first aid training, and if there was an injury, I should go help out. So what was it? You know how most Wal-Marts have a book section up front, and then back side of it faces customer service? Somehow that ENTIRE length of the book section toppled over backwards. But amazingly, not many of the books or magazines were in the floor, and no one was injured or seemed to be near it. I don't have a clue what happened, but it was amusing.
And then I walked out and to my truck, and there was a bride and groom coming out of Wal-Mart from the grocery side. She was holding her skirt up and stepping carefully. I don't even want to know why they were there...
Only when I got in my truck did I think about taking a picture, hehe.
