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,
(placenta) so there must be a lot of toys inside there. When he
got out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in 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.

Now you have two choices....laugh and close this page or pass
this along to someone else to spread the laughs. I know what I did!!! ****

Just another happy, happy puppy.

Nobody can tell me that dogs don't smile. I know mine do, particularly the pitties. When they are anxious, their brows wrinkle just like a human's does. When they are sad, their mouths turn down at the edges. When they are hap-hap-happy, they grin from ear to ear with their tongues hanging out!

I'll see if I can't capture one of their grins for all to see. It's too cute!

That dog in the mirror... Oh, my!

The caption said that this 8-month old just got a cochlear transplant and this is the first time he has heard his mom's voice.

Awesome Eric.

Awwwwwwwww That's one of the best ones ever Eric......

Thanks Joani, Jake. I aims to please.
