Baby Present

My daughter came home from school yesterday with this funny story:

Her teacher is pregnant.  And she looks like she's about to detonate any day now.  When one is that pregnant, one has to use the restroom pretty much all the time.  Believe me, I know!  While the teacher stepped out for such an occasion, the girls in the class decided to pull out some hair chalk and color their hair.  The operation got a little messy.  Soon yellow and pink chalk dust covered the floor.

Unfortunately, the girls were unable to clean up the mess before the teacher came back.  When she did, she was a little surprised.  "What's this?" she asked, surveying the colorful floor.

My daughter, the quick thinker, said, "We decorated the room in pink and yellow baby colors, because we know you're having a girl!  Do you like it?"

  2. That's pretty quick thinking and teacher must have been touched. I hope she invited the class to watch her give birth.

  4. A 'think on your feet' kid! So did they actually get any chalk on their hair? (on the floor might be a bit slippery, wonder what the janitor's reaction was. . . )

    1. I think they did get some in their hair. My daughter didn't have any. I'm not sure if they got it cleaned up before the janitor arrived. I hope so!

  10. Nice!
    Had to Google 'Hair Chalk', I didn't know there was such a thing.
    I guess if my 7 year old daughter asks for some I will know, and knowing is half the battle.
