Daughter of a Teacher Man
Do you ever wonder who really reads all those e-mail forwards that clog your inbox?
Well, I know two people who do: God bless 'em, my mom and dad do.
Last week, my dad sent me one titled something like: You Know You Lived Through the 1960s if ...
Tonight, this is what I got.
It's absolutely the perfect forward for them - they're both teachers.
They're probably going to be sorta mad that I put this on my blog but to make up for it, I'll say this: I actually think it's kinda cute.
I know they also sent it to me because as soon as Little Man was born, I started asking people not to speak to him in that goo-goo ga-ga wookie-pookie dookie-lookie kind of way all the time. The baby talk drives me a little nuts.
(Even though he's so damn cute I catch myself doing it sometimes.)
So, in the spirit of forwarding, I'm forwarding this on to you.
P.S. I'm very disappointed in the sad number of people who posted the top 5 romantic things their partner does for them under Sarah Shares With Rebecca Eckler. Stop watching the Grey's Anatomy you Tivo-ed last night and be romantic, gosh darn it!
THE FORWARD
Always be careful what you say to kids.
A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk!
"You need to use 'Big People' words," she was always reminding them.
She asked Chris what he had done over the weekend? "I went to visit my
Nana."
"No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words!"
She then asked Mitchell what he had done. "I took a ride on a choo-choo."
She said "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words."
She then asked little Alec what he had done? "I read a book," he replied.
"That's WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. "What book did you read?"
Alec thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, "Winnie the SHIT."
