Ethics [Tuesday, March 23, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Today Anakin's desk was covered with droid babies in bassinets. Each baby had a tiny stuffed Ewok tucked next to it. Hush.

"Today we talk about lust," Anakin said, pulling his attention back from the wall he'd been staring at, trying to get a handle on a bad feeling he'd been having since stepping foot on the island yesterday. "Or rather, the unintended consequences that can happen when you take action without precautions."

He smiled. Evilly. Some of his lesson plans might have changed this semester, but he had been looking forward to the droid babies with something close to unholy glee this go-around. "Meet your little projects for the next week. They're heavy, they cry, and they will record everything you do with them. So if you stuff them into a closet for the duration, believe me, I'll know."

After all, he'd built all of them.

He reached for a list of paper. "I've paired you up together." His smile turned a little more evil. "And some of your babies are a little fussier than others."

"Maybe it'll shut up by itself?" Calvin suggested. He was an only child, he didn't know how babies worked.

[Sorry, viciously attacked by RL.]

Dru was also an only child. The poor droid baby was doomed.

"I don't think we'll be that lucky. We're gonna have to hold it or something."

[No worries. RL is using me as a chew toy as well.]

Calvin was going to have to get Hobbes to babysit, it was his only hope. "Well, you're its mother."

She would have no trouble with tiger baby care.

"Dude, just cause I have ovaries doesn't mean I'm all maternal," Dru quickly replied.

"Do I look at all like fatherhood material to you?"

Hobbes was definitely looking like the best option all around.

"We might as well just call social services and report ourselves," she sighed.

Calvin nodded. "They'd find him a good home."

No, Calvin, adopting out the baby was not allowed.

"I think that's kind of defeating the purpose of the exercise though." Even if it was pretty good idea.

"I have to work tomorrow. Feel like being a stay at home dad?"

"I guess so," Calvin said, since he didn't have a convenient excuse.

"Good. And then I can take over on Thursday for a day or so."

Maybe.

So not winning mother of the year.
