What the Heck Wednesdays: Baby Time!

"What the Heck?! Wednesdays" focus on the heart-warming, ridiculous, and sometimes frustrating stories from our school days.  Teaching in Turkey is trying and difficult.  We come home exhausted,  and our days off are nothing short of precious. That being said, we love our students.  Most of the time. They are creative, silly, smart, obnoxious, loud, affectionate and adorable.  And they make for some delightful stories. Enjoy... 

A few days ago, I was hanging out in the corridor supervising break time when a group of second graders ran over to me in a frenzy.  

Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! Miss Erin! 

Ayşe Melek took over:

"Miss Erin! Nurdan..." 

(gestures frantically towards their classroom in case I wasn't aware that she was referring to her class teacher. Who I have worked with for two years now).

 

"Her's baby..."

 (Continues the charades game in case I don't understand English.)

"It's COMING!"

Best charades ever.

Congratulations on your new baby Nurdan!  And welcome to the world Umut!
