now that's education!

Found this on Hathor's website and had to share it. Nobody seems to know who the original author is. (But if you find out, pleeeze let me know so I can give them their due...and many parenting kudos.)

"[This story came from a discussion forum in the UK…”Tescos” is a
supermarket chain there.]

Went to Abigail’s school Christmas concert. Each class did a little
something followed by a song or 2. Anyway, Ab’s class did a Nativity scene,
with Ab as Mary. A few minutes into their bit Ab promptly lifted her dress &
shoved baby Jesus up it. The script then wandered away from what they’d
learnt & goes as follows….

Joseph: “What are you doing?”
Mary: “I’m feeding our baby”
Shepherd: “Have you got a bottle up there then?”
Mary: “Don’t be silly he’s having milk from my booby”
Joseph: “That’s disgusting”
Mary: “No, that baby milk they have in Tescos is disgusting. My baby’s
having proper milk”
Shepherd: “What’s a booby?”
Mary: “Those sticky out bits ladies have”
Shepherd: “They’re not boobies, they’re nipples”
Mary: “No they’re not, they’re boobies”
Joseph: “So why can’t Jesus have milk from a bottle then?”
Mary: “Because I haven’t got a breast pump with me - you forgot to put it on
the donkey”
Shepherd: “Can’t you ask the teacher for a bottle to feed Jesus with?”
Mary: “No because this is the best way to feed Jesus. Anyway bottles haven’t
been invented yet & even if they were I’ve just had a baby so if you think
I’m faffing about round Tescos to buy baby milk when I make proper milk in
my boobies you can think again”

I felt a teeny bit sorry for their class teacher - she did try her best to
steer them back towards their proper lines but she was laughing so much she
didn’t really stand a chance. The line about Joseph forgetting the breast
pump finished her off - she slid to the floor & couldn’t get up for
laughing…."
