The Lewis Family in Japan: I Need a Sign

I Need a Sign

I think I'm going to have a shirt made that I can wear to the junior high I substitute teach at. It will read "Yes, I'm pregnant. I'm due in July. It's a girl. I'm not naming it after you."
I have at least three or four students every period ask me this. Even for me to name my child after them. Crazy self-absorbed middle schoolers, I love them.

That's all.

I had two students, not close to my top fave students, who asked me if I would name my kids after them and I was like 1. I don't like you and 2. I'm not even pregnant! (I didn't tell them number one, but I sure did think it!).

Funny. When I was student teaching no one asked if I would name my kid after them. BUT, I had four of my students tell me before my ultrasound day that they thought I was having twins because I was "pretty big for just 5 months."

Why Pie?

I once was told by a wise fellow drama teacher that there is always more pie in the kitchen. Sometimes life feels like we've sat down for some of our favorite pie with everyone we know. Everybody gets the pie they want, except you. You didn't get any. And it's at these times that we may feel like demanding from God, "Hey, where is my pie!?" But just be patient, there is always more pie in the kitchen. And if you don't get your preferred flavor, look at it as an opportunity to try out something new and become a wiser person for the challenge. That being said, I also happen to love pie.
