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.

"Ms Van Der Kamp, erm considering the circumstances and well my reputation around here I'd really rather not do this, is there another option at all?" Paige asks looking seriously worried by the assignment

"Well dear, that is why it is important for you to do the assignment! Every action has its consequence, and although the embarrassment of your little scandal seems all-consuming now, eventually it will fade. A baby, however, doesn't present you with the same opportunity for eventual freedom."

She gives Paige a strange look, somewhere between comfort and condemnation.

Paige looks at the teacher "While I appreciate the sentiment Mrs Van Der Kamp and know I've been stupid lately I assure you I'm not stupid enough to get pregnant cos OMG Lancelot would get so jealous I'll do the assignment though."

((cool will see how I feel about but yes a report will be handed in))

"Well, if you really are uncomfortable, I will allow you to convince two of your friends to wear the vest for three hours each, and write a short paper contrasting and comparing their experiences. They can be male or female, but it really should be two, considering everyone else in class must wear the vest themselves. Okay? Or you can complete the assignment as given. Your choice."

Paige smirks for a moment at the thought of Sawyer wearing the vest, but knows he'd kill her just for suggesting it to him.

"Thank you very much, I will try to do the assignment myself, but the option is very much appreciated."
