Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period Five

As Lorelai’s students entered the classroom, they were greeted by the aroma of a pumpkin scented candle. There were bowls of candy placed around the room and Lorelai had hung fake spider webs around the room.

Once everyone had arrived and was seated, Lorelai grinned.

“Today we’re going to start learning about traditional American holidays,” she said. “I’m sure you’ve all noticed my decorations. We’re only about a month away from celebrating Halloween.” She went on to give a short lecture on the origins of Halloween and the modern celebrations of said holiday.

“Of course, after Halloween, we only have a few weeks before the winter holiday bonanza,” Lorelai continued, passing out a handout with information about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Years as she discussed the various holidays.

“Any questions?”

"Can't find a costume?" Marty asked. "I'm sure we could find something for you. What do you want to go as?"

"I'm sure I can find something if I wanted to," Bel said. "I'm just not in the mood right now to think about stupid things like that."

"Dude. Free candy. Get over it and find a costume," Marty said rolling his eyes. "Want me to find one for you? I think Veronica left that sailor outfit here before she left."

"I think that'd suit you better," Bel said irritably. "Why don't you try it on?"

"I don't have the legs for it," Marty said rolling his eyes. "You're certainly in a grumpy mood today. What's the matter? You can't even take a joke?"

"Phoebe was supposed to call me last night for a ride home from San Francisco and she didn't," Bel said glumly.

"Well not to be obvious, but did you call to check up on her?" Marty asked only looking slightly confused.

"She's not answering her cell phone," Bel said, his frown deepening.

Marty frowned. "Huh. Did you call her family at all? Piper's living out there right?"

Re: During the Lecture [9/25]

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, but if Phoebe's mad at me again then Piper's liable to blow me up through the phone lines," Bel said glumly.

"You want me to call Piper?" Marty asked. "Make sure everything's okay? She wouldn't blow me up if I was calling on your beahalf. I hope."

"Yeah, if I don't hear from Phoebe by this evening I may just have to take you up on that," Bel said. He sighed wearily. "I hope she's not mad at me again."

Marty nodded sympathetically. "Nothing worse than the wrath of an angry girlfriend."
