Home Ec is Outrageous!; Monday, Period Five [ 06/07 ].

While it wasn't as nice a day as Aquaman had hopes for today's class, he had still invited his students out of the home ec room and into the great outdoors for some fresh air and aquatic appreciation. And basket weaving.

"Good afternoon!" he greeted them brightly. "I hope you're ready to kick off your shoes and roll up your pants...or skirts...because today, we're getting in the water! In the water is one of my favorite places to be; it's rather appropriate, as the water is my home! Today's a bit of a break from the typical maitenence of hearth and home, a bit of a project to work our minds and fingers and provide not only something beautiful, but something very functional as well. Today we're weaving baskets! Underwater!"



"Now," Aquaman continued, "traditional basketweaving is done outside of the water, but today we're using materials that, thanks to the water softening them and making them more piable, are woven while underwater. Gather around and allow me to demonstrate!"

Not even needing to roll up his sleeves, as his costume was specifically designed for water useage, Aquaman then went over how to weave a basket, all of the work done underwater.

"Now, if you're comfortable with the water and wish to go out deeper for a more underwater experience, please feel free to do so! If you're going to be doing anything with water, you're with the right man to watch over you! I'm not called Aquaman for nothing! But if you'd just like to wade in enough to submerge your basket, there is nothing wrong with that, either. And if you can breathe underwater like yours truly, well, then, I encourage you to submerge yourself in the ultimate basket weaving experience!"



Aquaman clapped his hands together, drawing in a deep, pleasant breath of the wonderful seaside air. "Well, then, weaving wonders, let's get started!"

This was ... kind of like sewing, right? Sort of? Tara was okay at sewing, so it was with some confidence that she gathered her reeds and waded into the shallow water.

She promptly learned it wasn't much like sewing at all. Sewing was never this slippery, for one. She frowned with concentration as she tried to weave the reeds together.
