Parent/Teacher Conference

Just finished a week of teaching combined with parent/teacher conferences. Yes, I am exhausted.
As I met with parents this week, I was reminded of my own parent/teacher conference when my younger daughter was in 2nd grade.
For whatever reason I had difficulty getting pregnant that second time. My daughter used to ask me stories and I would tell her she was always in my heart but I had trouble getting her into my belly. She knew we went to a special doctor in New York City for help.
At the conference her teacher shared a story. Another parent had come in for a birthday celebration and was talking about living in NYC. My daughter's hand went up and when she was called on she proudly announced, "I was conceived in New York City!"
We all had a good laugh. That was a memorable parent/teacher conference.

  1. Love that! We had a family of students once who had very unusual names...I won't mention them here, but suffice to say, they were all names of cities/towns in NY! All of us teacher types got silly one day, and of course, we decided that these parents must've really gotten around! (No, there was not an Armonk! lol!)

  6. Ha! I always say my daughter was made in Jerusalem (because she was), but having her repeating that around here could be interesting!
