Genius Parenting

Sometimes I can't believe I get paid for what I do, working with young children and teachers. I get to laugh out loud every day. Today it was this conversation:

Jane (name changed to protect the hilarious): I'm allergic to boys.
Teacher: (laughing) Who told you that?
Jane: My Daddy.
Teacher: I thought so (still laughing).
Jane: Well, I'm not allergic to these boys. I'm allergic to boys I don't know.

That dad is a genius I tell you. I promptly went home and told K & T that they are allergic to boys. They didn't buy it. Damn, I should have tried it when they were younger.

16 & Pregnant

I watched 16 & Pregnant on MTV last night. All I could think of was, 'please don't let that be my daughters in 10-12 years'. Yes, my mom did it when she was 15. And no, it's not the end of the world. But it just complicates things and kids that young are not ready to be parents. Period. Do they still sell chastity belts?
