Home Ec 101

Welcome class.

We will spend this class and next on Pet Care as several of you expressed interest. Of course, I refrain from keeping animals myself because cat hair on the chaise lounge makes Bree go cRaZy but learning pet care is an important part of keep a clean, sanitary, welcoming home.

As they seem to be popular, we'll spend today discussing gremlins.

Did you know there are monkey gremlins? How adorable. But these gremlins, like ours, are not meant for domestication, so if you decide to keep a gremlin as a pet follow these steps.

- They are aggresive and bite! Make sure they have their proper shots, you keep their mouths clean, and that they are secured in another location when you have guests so they don't take off anyone's nose.
- They tend to throw their poo-poo, so cover all valuable furniture and have a mop, bucket, and an economy-sized handle of bleach available at all times.
- Follow leash laws
- They shed. I would suggest shaving your gremlin. If he gets cold, I can knit him a little sweater for you.
- You may have seen those hilarious little smoking chimps at the zoo, but do not give your gremlin cigarettes or he may set you or your hand-crafted curtains on fire.

Feel free to discuss gremlin care with your classmates, and if you'd like to see another animal covered next class, please suggest away! Oh, and take a snickerdoodle before you leave!

[OOC: I'll be running classes until new teachers arrive and you can find a new class :) Not like I have anything better to do.]

*Paige laughs* I'll let you into a secret, the trick is to just not think about the things here too much, otherwise your head will explode

Thanks for the tip. I kinda sorta already figured that out, though. *A slight smile*

Well I'm afraid it's the best advice I have, sorry *Paige thinks a moment* If anything does happen though just call me ok?

And you know if you ever want to talk, I promise I'll be less leaky next time

That sounds like a plan, but I really don't mind. I told you the other day I like talking to you. Plus, I've never known a real witch before, obviously. So that's just bonus.
