Jack of All Trades, Wednesday, Per 1

Back in the Danger Shop, though it was set to the standard classroom setting--at least for the moment. "Sup, class," Hardison greeted, not even bothering to hide his smirk. "So, this weekend is prom an' I'd be remiss as hell if I didn't at least try to remind y'all about the wonders of safer sex an' why it's so important. Which bring us to today's lesson: learnin' to care for babies."

That was right, babies. Not even the slightly older children of the weekend that could at least speak and were generally potty-trained.

"Childcare is definitely a useful skill to have; people everywhere are always havin' kids. Knowin' how to take care of one without damage to yourself or the kid is probably one of those marks of a well-rounded person." Even Hardison knew how to take care of an infant, though it had been over a decade since the last time he'd had to. "So today, you get to learn some important tasks of takin' care of babies an' then you can spend the rest of the hour puttin' those newfound skills to use."

At least he wasn't saddling you with a droid-baby? You were welcome, class.

With a touch of a button, the sim changed from a classroom to a nursery filled with cribs. Each crib had two names on it; one name was for the student in charge of that infant, the other was the infant's and was completely moddable. Around the nursery were several different stations: a bathtub, a changing table, a rocking chair, even a kitchenette. A video started playing on an empty wall, showing the students how to hold a baby, and as soon as it was over, every baby started crying at once.

Feed and Burp

There's powdered formula, empty bottles and accoutrements, and a pot of water on the stove in the kitchenette. If you've never made formula for a baby and then fed it, this video should help you out. Don't forget to burp!

..The spit-up will go away when the sin ends at least?

"Powdered formula? Really?" Ada said, putting her free hand on her hip and glaring in Mr. Hardison's general direction.

Fine, whatever, it was only a pretend-baby, one bottle of formula at this age wasn't going to kill it.

This was not as bad! These instructions were not scary or gross, and if the baby was eating, then it couldn't yell at her.

And then the spit-up happened.
