Nate: I can't believe Mrs. Godfrey is pregnant! The thought of another Godfrey in the world is too scary to contemplate! Teddy: Well, contemplate THIS...She's going to have her baby during the school year! That means she'll be going on MATERNITY LEAVE! Nate, Mrs. Godfrey will be out of your life for at least THREE MONTHS!
When I was in 7th grade we had this English teacher that no one liked and she got pregnant during the school year and had to go on maternity leave. Her minimum leave, however, would end with just over a week and a half of school left in the year. Now most teacher’s would go ahead and just continue their leave into summer vacation, but not this one. She came back to that one and a half weeks left and made us write 3 essays. Everyone was so annoyed.
