I was surfing while I ate lunch today and came across this post at AZ Perspective. I found it very funny. Hope you enjoy it too:
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 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!’ Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. “She walked around the house for, like an hour, ‘Oh, oh, oh! Now the kid’s doing this hysterical duck walk, holding her back 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 and with her little hands are 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, they all said was from Mom’s play-center! , so there must be a lot of stuff 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, if it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another Erica comes along.
Kids are great.
I am not going to make a career out of writing on this issue, but it is big news whenever the MSM is exposed for what they are. The guys at Powerline were on top of this story from the beginning and really demonstrated how a blog could break a major story and keep the heat on a major news organization. Today’s post captures my views on the matter completely and if you have any interest in the behind the scenes political agenda of CBS News, you will won’t won’t to miss reading this.
