I told my 1st grade class that I was pregnant. Here was the response:
Student (boy, holding the ultrasound picture): This is not a human. Nope, not a human.
Student (girl): She's not grown up yet. Duh.
Along with the picture, I passed around a 16oz. harispray bottle to show them about how big the baby is. When I looked down at one of my students holding the hairspray bottle he was rocking it in his arms like a baby, grinning.
Student (girl): Mrs. Campbell, can I please feel your stomach? Pleeeaaasseee?
Me: No, there's not really anything to feel.
Student: Pleeeeeeaaaasssseeeee Mrs. Campbell? Can I just feel your stomach one time?
Me: No.
Student: OOOOKKKK (sadness inflected, student walks toward the door with head down, turns around, runs back to give me a hug, and puts her hand on my stomach)
Sneaky little girl.
Student (girl): Mrs Campbell, I can tell that your pregnant because your stomach is getting really fat.
Me: Oh good.
My class has phased recently from telling "why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes, to riddles, and now we're on to "knock, knock" jokes. Keep in mind, most 6 year olds have an underdeveloped sense of humor. For example:
Student (girl): Knock, Knock.
Class: Who's there?
Student: Pregnant.
Class: Pregnant who?
Student: Didn't you know our teacher is pregnant?
Student (boy): Knock, knock.
Class: Who's there?
Student: Baby.
Class: Baby who?
Student: Didn't you know there's a baby in our teachers belly?
