rivkaDid I mention that Michael and I are co-teaching OWL this spring?
This weekend is the first overnight. The kids arrived at the church at six to have dinner, do a session, and play games. Tomorrow we'll do two more sessions and wrap up at 3:30pm. Michael and I will have childcare for the regular weekly sessions, but we're doing the overnight by swapping off. So Alex, Colin, and I went to church to have dinner with the OWL kids, and then I brought my children home and Michael stayed to do the evening session with our co-teacher Laura. Tomorrow morning, he'll stay home with the kids and I'll go do a session with Laura. In the afternoon, he'll bring the kids down to church and he and I will trade off watching them and being in the session. It's complicated, but it works for us.
All this is by way of explanation so that I can now make this remark:
If your teenager can look at a woman who is nursing and ask "Is that your baby?" ...your kid is probably overdue for OWL.
Just sayin'.
(Also, hooray! I forgot that I have an OWL icon.)

Date: 2010-01-09 01:41 pm (UTC)Just kidding. Makes sense, especially when you consider that these kids probably think of me as being their parents' age (I think I'm younger than all of their parents, but I don't expect a 13-year-old to differentiate between middle-aged ages.)
I actually do think that "is that your baby" is a reasonable question when he's crawling around on the floor. But when he was attached to my nipple, not so much.
