better hit the ab lab

this is the 2nd time i have been asked this question over the course of 2 teaching semesters..1 time when i taught kindergarten and then today:

student: ms. barnes, are you pregnant?
me: no.
student: then what's this? (rubs my belly)
me: not a baby. 
student: oh, i thought you were having a baby.




oh, great!


this conversation was once followed by another between another adult and me.


me: you'll never believe what one of my kindergartners said to me today! she asked me if i was pregnant!!
other person: were you wearing that pencil skirt with the buttons?
me: no...why?
other person: i guess i could see it if you were wearing that pencil skirt with the buttons.
me: no, i was not wearing that skirt. thank you.

here is a picture of me in that skirt (i'm on the right. photo cred goes to aPhotography. she's on the left :) )

i mean ok, maybe not the absolutely BEST but i don't think it's bad!! haha

  2. Kristin. You do not look pregnant. I have always wondered why it was okay for people to ask women if they were pregnant. I once had a quite giddy pregnant women ask me if I was pregnant. Sad to say, I was wearing a new dress that I had gotten that day...I haven't worn it since.

  3. BAHAHA!! i had a student ask me if i was going to have a baby. it was during the five minute-warm up and she was the absolute shyest girl in the class. she raised her hand to ask politely, "ms. trinkle, are you pregnant?" i icily informed her that was an inappropriate question to ask. i went home, tore up that dress, and never wore it again.
