Congratulations, but non-sequitur?

I'm not preganant, and i do have full time T.A. (Y2).
I teach in a one form entry Primary. R, Y1, Y2, Y5 and Y6 have full time TAs. Y3 and Y4 have to share a TA between them. We've been told that if any TA leaves, there will be no replacement.

Pregnant.... TA not sure I follow, is it an issue with popping to the toilet as and when you need to? That must be tricky!

So we can narrow out who the father is. We know it wasn’t the TA.

Are your two statements related?!

I don’t have a TA, no.

What exactly is the problem?

We have one TA between 3 classes. At times it's impossible. On duty days I don't wee all day.

Having a TA would significantly improve the odds of my staying in the job.
