Last week as my students were silently reading one of my girls called me over to her and whispered in my ear, "Are you pregnant?" I whispered back "yes" and nodded as I smiled and walked away. I heard her say under her breath, "I knew it!"
Later that day another student of mine asked me if I'm pregnant and I told her that yes I am and that Kati (pseudonym) asked me the same thing earlier. She said, "well, I was the one who told Kati! And plus, you know how I know? Because when you first came here you had a flat stomach and now you have a little bump!" Then as the lesson went on she kept asking, "Can I please tell everyone the good news?" So I let her tell the others; the other girl in the group was super excited and cheery and the boys just sat there. Haha. Boys will be boys.
Today the same student rubbed my belly before I left (for the last time... very sad day).
The other intern, Joe, received a card from a very creative and silly boy that in a part, read, "you are the coolest college, university man ever!" Hahaha. I so miss kindergarten because of the all the funny things kids say... but now I realize that kids still say the darndest things even in fifth grade. So cute.
