One of the teachers in my elementary school lived on a farm and brought in a spring lamb one day for her fourth graders. The lamb stayed in a small child’s plastic pool for the day, and the other classes took turns coming in for a look. The younger the classes, the more they seemed to enjoy spending time with the lamb.
The next school year, this teacher transferred to first grade. In the spring, children began noticing that she would be having a baby soon. One of the first graders, who had obviously been impressed with the lamb the year before asked, “Mrs. Barber, are you going to have a baby or a lamb?”
