Volleyball

There is a young second year math teacher/volleyball coach who is having a baby at about the same time as I am. I have been talking to him about it over the last week, asking questions such as "When is your wife due? How is she feeling? Is she sick? How far along is she?" The only answer I have gotten so far is a very noncommittal "I am not sure." I must say that Tim knows everything....when I am due, that yes I am sick, that I am six weeks pregnant, etc. So yesterday I ran into this teacher in the copy room. He was hovering over the copier and looked at me and exclaimed, "I have a 5'10'' junior transfer from Virginia who has been playing since she was 10." I was flabbergasted. I could not respond. Evidently this man cares more about his volleyball team than his baby.

His behavior is vomitous (a word of which Jools would dispute your claim to the source).

It must be a real word.

It sounds as if he is what Beelers would be were I pregnant... in denial.

And don't forget... Tim knows it has buds.
