Show & Tell in a High School Class: Baby!

One of my students brought their 1 yr. old baby boy for show and tell. Mom is now 16. She shared about her c-section birth, his name, weight, favorites... He was so happy and so good! She passed him around just like a baby doll.... from person to person so everyone in the class had the opportunity to hold him... he never cried.
Meanwhile she took questions from the class. Grandma watches him during the day, it's hard for her to have any social life now, etc then the following exchange took place: "What is the hardest thing about having a baby now?" Her response: "When his daddy stopped talking to me around Christmas time" "He has nothing to do with me or his son" Then after a brief exchange one of the stundents replied ... that's what all our daddy's do... they all leave us! How sad.
However, we all enjoyed the special visit from this little blessing.
