Child Development- 1st Period- Class #11

[slapbetcommish.livejournal.com]

Don't ask why Lily was wearing a Santa hat in class in March. The end of March, even. But there was a giant Christmas tree in the playroom! And there were presents underneath!

"We were going to talk about personality but you know what, no, we're having Christmas," Lily announced. "Those four to six-year-olds? You're going to watch them open presents and experience the childlike glee. That's it. Merry fake Christmas!"

"Nope." Francine shook her head, getting a poke on the roof of her mouth with her now-sharp candy cane for her trouble. "Ow. But Arthur came and told me about the gremlin."

Claire blinked. "Arthur did something, like, decent?"

She was easily impressed on this point.

"But that's something, you just -- HEY! NO HITTING! -- you just have to wait for him to not be a bird. Right?"

"Arthur's not bad," Francine insisted. "He's a good guy. He's just kind of....cranky." She knew no one else like that. Really.

"I don't even really know him," Claire admitted, keeping an eye on the kids. "Just the way he sounds on radio and what people say about him. He freaked at me his first day here, but I was trying to take his picture."

"Underoos don't go there," Francine called. To Claire, she said, "They're a little...technology-challenged. I guess I can understand the freaking."

"Oh, totally, it just didn't really make us wanna be BFFs," Claire noted. "God, I'm so glad I'm not from further in the past then -- excuse me, I think that one's putting a Lego up her nose."

"Legos don't there either," Francine said patiently. "Only smells go there."
