yesterday i was reading aloud to the class "mammals: true or false?" it's this neat little book with questions/statements that give the answer and explanation after.
so we read the page, "most mammals are born alive. true or false?"
they answer, "TRUE!"
the answer said, "true! almost all mammals give birth to live babies." and we read the little explanation and it said that they grow inside their mother and lalala.
then one of my kids says, "not me! i was made in a petri dish and then put inside my mom!"
it took every part of my being to not bust out laughing. it was hilarious.
this is the same boy that told me 2 weeks ago that his mother was going to get a tummy tuck and some other procedure (i can't remember). a few days later, he told me his dad was coming to parent teacher conferences instead of his mom because she was having surgery, i asked him, "oh why is your mom getting surgery?" (because in 2nd grade you can get away with asking questions like that). he responded with a deer in headlights look. and i said, "oh you can't say. that's okay! i hope everything goes well!"
(yes, this is also the boy that had half his body weight in his head when he was a baby and had to roll down the hall.)
