Last week I broke the news about Baby L to the teens and parents of my girl's dance therapy group following our session. One particularly lovable, albeit dramatic, client missed the announcement in her rush to get to her car and "never ever come back to this horrible group again." So today, during our check-in (because yes, she did come back), I mentioned that I had some news not everyone had heard. Above client looked me straight in the eye, and with great dryness and sobriety spoke:
"Oh, well my mom told me."
"Told you what?" I asked.
"About that bump under your shirt that you're going to resent for the rest of your life."
It took every ounce of my willpower to not keel over in laughter. Life is rich, rich indeed. Thank goodness for the perspective of my clients, who teach me everyday about unapologetic honesty.

this is amazing. one of our students with autism once told another student (with schizophrenia), "when you talk it sounds like a cow farting in my ear."
I dunno what's more awesome, her comment or your ability not to fall down laughing. Either way, that's a great story!
That is hilarious!
Mariah, this is so stinkin hilarious!! Wish I could have witnessed this firsthand with you. Although then we quite possibly would have keeled over laughing :)
Laurie - I'm now still laughing about the cow farting in the ear comment. Ohhhh I love it. And as an aside, I told my second teen girls group about the babe on Wednesday - one member looked at me, then started to laugh hysterically, sputtering out, "oh, you'd better be married - I KNOW what you did to make that happen - just learned about it in health class. Gross." Ha.
Z went through my pregnancy with N thinking he was expecting too. He would have tummy aches when I did. He would need to sleep when I did. And it was a miracle, but his tummy would move at the same times mine did. He was a blast watching go through the motions.
Hope your pregnancy is still going smooth. Thinking of you! =)
