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.

Maia stood up:



"My egg was named Carmen. Paige and I decided that we would like our children, her little egg Fred and my darling Carmen to grow up in a household of love so we decided to be co-parents together and give our children a happy outlook on life." Maia glances at Paige trying to keep from laughing. "We shared all the duties of child rearing and came to the conclusion that it is very hard to care for an egg alone but it is possible." Maia bites her lip for a moment thinking "Also I think that I will always remember this experience in sickness and in health." Maia grinned at Paige now, the urge to laugh almost painful.

Paige looks at Maia biting hard on her lip before going through her bag looking for the piece she wrote, which was much less entertaining

NFB ((LOCKED TO PAIGE ONLY!!!!))

Maia leans forward towards Paige and winks "Follow that killer" Maia sits back with her eyebrow raised and smirking.



((ooc: "follow that killer" is a joke based out of the Great Balls of Fire movie after Jerry Lee sets fire to the piano and looks at Chuck Berry who is about to go on stage and says "Follow that killer" Killer was one of Chuck Berry's nicknames and then became one of Jerry Lee Lewis' as well. IT IS A JOKE I REPEAT A JOKE!! and is LOCKED to Paige's ear only))

Paige laughs slightly before presenting her assigment

"As part of the egg assignment Maia and I decided we would try our hand at co-parenting (owing to non class related issues and because we believed it would add an interesting dimension to the project) we looked after the eggs (Carmen and Fred) between us during most of the first day. Then Maia baby sat when I went to town and I baby sat for Carmen during the evening

As part of the egg care I made a make shift cage, to protect the egg from my kitten, from bendy straws and a carry cot /bed out of a small box which I packed with cotton wool to keep Fred safe during classes and while he was carried around. I changed the cotton wool every night to keep it and Fred and Carman nice and clean and we took it in turns to check on the eggs at least once an hour"
