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.

Live every day as if it is your LAST chance to make someone happy!

Have a wonderful day!

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.
Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching.
Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
No one dies a virgin, Life screws us all.
In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away .
