Fresh sKWeez'd, Daily: The Circle of Life

Modern family values have definitely changed since I was a kid. The nuclear family is a thing of the past, baby daddies abound, and the resulting children have a bird's eye view of all the Jerry Springer-esque drama that surrounds their young parents. Kids don't have the same ideas about family that we did at that age, and it's really starting to show.

The music teacher just got married, and announced her happy news to the class. Several of the children raised their hands to ask questions.

Boy: "So when are you due?"
Teacher: "What do you mean?"
Boy: "Well, you must be pregnant. That's why people get married in the first place."

Anyway, last week in our class, Miss Vicky confiscated a homemade book from one of the boys. She went rather wide-eyed after she saw what was inside, so naturally I couldn't resist a peek.

We've been covering life cycles in science...mammals, amphibians, insects...and this particular boy had decided to write about and draw his own version of the life cycle in this book.
