Today at work, one of my students was showing me some pictures on MySpace. I saw one particularly beautiful one, of a pair of hands and a beautiful baby with huge, huge eyes. I said to him, "Is that you??? Are those your hands?"
He said, "Yeah. That's me and my BM."
"BM?? What the heck is that?"
Everyone in the room stared at me. I imagine that all the heads turned from the computers as tutors and students alike stared at my stupidity. I posited a guess: "Bowel movement?"
He laughed and laughed at me and said, "No, Miss Katy. That's my Baby Mama."
After years of nomadic temporary employment, advanced degrees, and chocolate ice cream, a rugger with a love of knitting and a cyclist with no domestic skills signed a Ketubah and bought a house in Pittsburgh.

dork :) haha, i heart you
I definitely would have said the same things
wouldn't "baby mama" refer to the mother of the baby? Why would you call the baby that?
haha even my dad knows what that means...
He told my mom that he never wants any of us to be a "baby momma" or "baby daddy"...
In my profession, a BM is the correct and only abbreviation for bowel movement. And baby mama I though was the mother of the baby, not a baby girl, but who knows. Nurse Goat.
hahaha oh man...
i should have been more clear in my post. the photo was of a set of hands, a man hand and a womanly hand. so the student meant that the other hand was the BM. in sum, it was a photo of student, BM, and the baby.
