The last school year, my students got to see my belly grow. The great thing about being pregnant and working with kids is that I get to answer all the "Where do babies come from?" questions. During reading groups one day, one of my students asks, "Is it going to hurt when they cut your stomach to get the baby out?" Without thinking, I answered, "No one is going to cut my stomach to get the baby out." Dang it. I just set myself up for this next question. "So how will the baby come out then?" Shit. Ummm, well...
"I know how the baby comes out." One of my students with autism speaks ever so quietly. This is going to be interesting.
"How?"
"Through a secret passageway."
"YES! Through a secret passageway. That's right."
And everyone was satisfied with that explanation. Sometimes it the simplest answers are the best answers.
