Sexual Health ; Thursday

"So you were all just parents for a week," Mindy told the class as she stood at the front of the room, having just collected (what remained of) the plastic babies she'd given out at the last class. "Awful, right? The crying noise is crazy unpleasant. I mean, I want kids, but god, you have to be ready for that, am I right?"

Mindy was being very obvious about the angle she was pushing here.

"So, condoms, you guys. That's all I'm saying. There's a bowl in the front of the room. You can just casually grab some on your way out the door; no one'll notice. If you want any other kind of birth control we talked about the other week that you need a doctor's prescription for, come talk to me in my office here or at the clinic on Tuesdays and we'll make it work. Actually, I'd love for any of you to stop by the office. I think you'll find that my furniture and decor really make good use of the space."

She continued, "Today I want to have a discussion about parenting and what you found to be least pleasant about herding around a little ball of joy for seven days. Please be specific. I never got to do this assignment growing up, and I always hoped that it'd be me and some cute guy, maybe with freckles, leaning over a crib with a crying fake infant at two in the morning..."

Getting a little weird there, Mindy.

"Anyway, let's hear it."

Considering the sort of things her other self had done during a church service, Eleanor was going to take some of the condoms. It really couldn't hurt.

"I dunno, I kind of liked it," Alana said thoughtfully. "Don't get me wrong, a lot of the time the kid was a screaming pee monster, but when it wasn't it was cool to have the little dude around."

"A friend convinced me to take the assignment seriously," Eleanor said -- which, yes, acknowledged that she hadn't been, prior to that -- "and showed me how to hold the doll so it wouldn't cry quite so much."

Oddly enough, that had helped.

"This weekend, when I thought I was a Skywalker, the doll turned into a teacup chihuahua and rode around in my purse. So that was unexpected."
