Show and Tell Day
Middle Wife - by an anonymous 2nd grade teacher. This is very
funny.

I've been teaching for about fifteen years and have two precious
kids myself, but the
best birth story I know is the one I encountered in my second
grade classroom a few years ago.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell, so I always have a few
sessions with my students. It actually helps them get over
shyness. Normally, show-and-tell is pretty calm and painless.
Kids have brought pet turtles, airplane models, pictures of fish
they've caught, etc. I never set any boundaries or limitations on
what the kids bring. If they want to haul anything into the
school and discuss, I say bring it on.

Well, one day a very outgoing and bright little girl, Erica, goes
to take her turn and waddles up to the front of the classroom
with a pillow shoved under her shirt. She holds up a picture of
an infant and says, "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm
going to talk about his birthday. First, Mommy and Daddy
made him as a symbol of
their love, and then Daddy put a seed in my Mommy's tummy,
and Luke grew inside there. He ate for nine months through an
umbrella cord."

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, I'm trying
not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The
kids watched her in amazement.

Erica continues with her story, "Then, about two Saturdays ago,
my Mommy starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' She puts
one hand behind her back and groans. "She walked around the
house for, like 1 hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" (Now this girl's doing a
hilarious duck waddle and groaning.) "My Dad called the
middle wife who delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on
the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mommy to lie
down in bed like this. (Then Erica lies down with her back
against the wall) And then, POP! My Mommy had this bag of
water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew
up and splashed all over the bed, like psschhheew! (This kid has
her legs spread with her little hands imitating water flowing
away. It was too much!) Then the middle wife started saying,
'push, push, push' and 'breathe, breathe, breathe. They started
counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out
came my baby brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they
said was from Mommy's play-center, (placenta) 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 make sure to bring my
camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along.
