Ethics [Tuesday, November 18, 2nd period]

Today the students, who would be returning their fake children, would be greeted with the sight of Anakin holding his seventeen month old daughter Juliet as they entered the classroom.

Well, restraining her. She was really interested in all of the stuffed Ewok toys. "I know many of you expressed a lack of understanding with what I was aiming at with this assignment," he said, waving his hand in the Force and grabbing one of the stuffed animals for the toddler, who squealed with appreciation.

"In many schools in this country and in this dimension, being assigned fake children is part of your health classes in order to instill a level of responsibility and understanding of cause and effect. In an ethics course, it is equally important to learn how you would react to being placed in such a situation. My best friend, who had never in his life dreamed of being placed with the responsibility of a child, was given one when the mother died unexpectedly."

And a nice spin on his Dark Side fall that was.

"Many unexpected offspring are brought into the universe through untamed lust," he continued, "which is why the droid babies come out during that class. But for me--and hopefully for you--the important lesson to learn were how you did dealing with the unexpected. Did you communicate well with your partner? Did you avoid the responsibility of the assignment entirely? Did you spend your week pointlessly hating me? What did you learn this week?"

"Squall did all the work. I was too, um, distracted last week, and I totally forgot until I saw Elphaba's." Have a little shrug, Anakin. "Honestly, I would have forgotten about the babies somewhere, so it's a good think Squall got them." She knew it was like asking to be called on her mistake, but she supposed it was better than not saying a thing. As much as she didn't care about the babies, she did care about the course.

Zatanna reasoned it was only normal to wish she could hide under her desk and be done with it. She didn't do that though. "You were handing babies in the week where everyone was thinking about making them...okay, maybe not directly. Sir. And I have negative parent skills whatsoever. So they were better off without me."
