The Middle Wife by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back. When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So, I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any bounda-ries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome. Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday.' 'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.' She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement. 'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts going, 'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand be-hind her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning.) 'My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.' (Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.) 'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much!) 'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center, so there must be a lot of toys inside there. When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for crawling up in there in the first place.' Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat.

I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's Show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another 'Middle Wife' comes along.




Hi everyone the above Pest Control company plans to be back in the area mid to late October. If you are

interested please contact him directly so he can plan his trip.




Rural Women Cambrian St Bathans congratulate Kim on an excellent evening with Conrad

Goodhew speaking on nutrition. It was great to see so many

and such a diverse group of people there.

We were proud to sponsor an event that reflects our aims

so well in bringing the community together and in helping it

to thrive.

We are very pleased that the money raised will go to sup-

port Harold and the Life Education Trust, one of the other

projects that we endorse.

Thank you, Kim and thank you to all those who came along and ensured the nights

success. We look forward to seeing you all again sometime soon.

Did you know . . . that Rural Women Cambrian St Bathans like to welcome each baby born in our area with a

hand-knitted, merino baby singlet? It’s an old tradition that we’d like to continue but

we need your help!!!

There are so many new families in the area and so few of us still involved with young

children that we don’t find out who’s having babies and when they are born.

If you know someone with a newborn baby please let us know:
