Are you supposed to be sharing this?

As I was walking my class to lunch yesterday, a student began telling me about her mother. This wasn't any ordinary story, but rather it was one that I'm sure her mom would not want her telling everyone.

- "Ms. L..."
- "Yes?"
- "My mama might be pregnant?"
- "Oh really?"
- "Yeah, she thinks she's pregnant, but she said she doesn't want to get a pregnancy test until next month because insurance won't pay for it until then."
- "Ohhhhhh."
- "She's been having stomach aches in the morning and she's always tired. She's been sleeping a lot. This is how she acted when she was pregnant with my sister.
- "Hmmmmm."
- "Yeah, I really want a baby brother, so I hope she's pregnant. I already have a sister and a brother and we want another."
- "Oh, you want more brothers and sisters?"
- "Yeah. I hope she gets that test soon so we'll know."

Today...
- "I hope my mom does the test."
- "What test?"
- "The little brother one!"
- "Huh, what test are you talking about?"
- "The one where she knows if she's pregnant."
- "Oh, okay."
- "She said she might take it sooner. I hope she does. I want to know."

ME TOO!
