Sex Ed, Monday [2-9] Third Period

[screwyoumarvel]

Steve looked horribly embarrassed as he started class today. "I would just like to begin by apologizing to anyone I insulted, in any form, over the weekend. I was, like many of you, not myself, but that doesn't make some of the things I said to people any less reprehensible." He didn't think he was ever going to come to terms with the memory of that person's anger and prejudice. And that had been him. God. "Now. Moving along to our class topic. Last week we talked about pregnancy, this week you're going to participate in a practical exercise. I have here nine five pound bags of flour, one for every two of you, because yes, you have been randomly divided into couples. For the next week, these are your babies. You will carry them everywhere. You can name and decorate them if you like, but do not damage them. I expect the bags returned intact next week. As to how I will know..." Steve picked up one bag and turned the bottom to face the class, revealing his signature. "I'm told these would sell for a pretty penny on eBay in certain realities. Don't even think about it, Mr. Madrox. When I call your names, you can come up and get your 'baby,' and then spend the rest of the period getting acquainted with your new partner in parenting."

"What time Thursday morning?"

Not that he has any intention of being especially prompt.

"Early handwavey time morning," she told him.

He nods. "I'll do my best." He's still eying the baby-sack warily.

"Thank you, babydaddy."

He now looks absolutely terrified as he turns to find someone else to talk to for the remainder of class... or maybe he actually listens to the lecture for a while.
