Home Ec 101 : November 10

[mrsvandekamp.livejournal.com]

Welcome to class everyone. I hope you brought your little darlings to class today. I brought cookies for you to enjoy.

I'd like you each to share who you found to babysit for your egg baby, what you assembled to provide for them, and what you took away from the experience.

Before you go, I'd like to give you your next assignment. I have managed to gather 7 pregnancy vests, one for each of you.

This weekend, I would like each of you (yes, you too Boone) to wear the vest for three daylight hours in a row, in public. On the town, in the dorms, or on campus. Now that you know what it would be like to care for something 24 hours a day, I would like you to get a glimpse into what it would be like to be a dirty, sinning tramp teenaged mother.

Please come to class ready to discuss how people reacted to you, and how you felt.

Wednesday came into class with her basket in one hand, children's books under her arm. Placing Hyde carefully on her desk, she brought Mrs. Van de Kamp a two (http://www.livejournal.com/users/addams_daughter/4965.html) page (http://www.livejournal.com/users/addams_daughter/5286.html) report on her experiences with her egg.

"Mrs. Van de Kamp, I'd like to experiment further," she said, frowning a little. "I've been having some difficulties with Food Preservation and while I intend to continue with it," she placed a small jar of pureed carniverous vine on the desk as an example, "I think that I might try to do a project on parenting, instead."

Bree looks at Wednesday's look with a wide grin. "This is very impressive, dear. You've done a wonderful job with this assignment," she pauses, looking at the small jar.

"Well, food preservation is certainly not easy," she says with a fake smile. "A project on parenting is a lovely idea. I'll be handing out the final guidelines for the project next week, so if you would like to explore the idea in more depth over the weekend that would be excellent."

"I should very much enjoy the opportunity," Wednesday assured her gravely. "Thank you, Mrs. Van de Kamp." She paused for a moment. "Might I request a letter from you explaining this weekend's assignment that I may forward to my parents? I should not like to have my father show up on my doorstep demanding an explanation... unless that would count toward extra-credit."

"Oh no, your father is a lovely man. I met him at your Halloween Ball; I wouldn't want to upset him unnecessarily. I'll type up a letter and send it over to the Manor later today."

"Thank you," Wednesday retreived Hyde's basket and gently adjusted the tiny bunny ears of its sleeper. "I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to explore some of these projects. It has been very educational."
