Alright…summer is a slow time for me. I don’t get to spend 40+ hours a week with my walking, talking entertainment. It doesn’t seem quite right, here I am with all of this free time to write, but no inspiration 
Not to worry, I still have many stories to share, that I either didn’t have time to write about, or I forgot all about. Today is a story I just plain forgot about, that is until I was on my morning run listening to my i-pod.
The star of this story is a 2nd grader named Gunnar. Now second grade was studying the life cycle of a beaver (or something like that ) they were talking about how long it takes for a baby beaver to be born. The teacher (a dear friend of mine) asked the kids if they knew how long it took for a human baby to be born. The kids had no clue, and they made some silly guesses (go figure) and finally she told them that it takes 9 mos for a baby to be born. Well apparently at that very moment a light bulb went off for little Gunnar. He raises his hand (like a good little student) and says:
“Oh I knew that because of that money maker song….shake, shake, shake your money maker…took your momma 9 months to make ya”
Who knew rap songs could be so educational
