The Gift of Life

There is a girl in my class who has two kids and had her third during spring break of our first year. She did not miss a day of class. This is law school, mind you, not third grade* so you are already mentally and physically exhausted and then they give you tons of work to do over the break anyway. Somehow she still did not miss a beat.

I dedicate today's haiku to her:

Giving birth. It's not
Like getting your car oil changed.
Miss a class or two.

*Not to make social judgments, but it seems very inappropriate to be having kids in third grade anyway.
