How to Win Friends and Influence People, Friday, Period 1
Kanan was holding the book again when class started this week, flipping through its pages and just... smirking.
"Okay, this week we're going to pull it back to something a little more personal," he said, glancing up from the book and speaking in an amused tone. "This week's chapter deals with making a happy home life. And I have to say, this week's outline is my favorite in the whole damn book. Makes me actually want to follow the list."
It was that last point that did it for him. Easily.
For Bob, too, honestly. What? He was dead, not...well, anyway.
"Seven rules for making your home life happier," Bob intoned. He wrote them in the air for the class to read as Kanan read them out loud.
Don't nag.
"Not that it isn't often effective," Bob added, "but it certainly won't win you any friends."
Don't try to make your partner over.
"Not a bad way to get yourself punched, or at least find yourself sleeping on the couch for a while," Kanan added, shrugging.
Don't criticize.
"Again," Bob said. "Very useful. In moderation, I suppose."
Give honest appreciation.
"This one pays off in all kinds of fun and interesting ways," Kanan offered. He was wearing a bit of a lecherous smirk.
Pay little attentions.
"Goes with the last one," Bob said, equally smirky.
Be courteous.
"I'm admittedly not sure how this one is much different from the last one," Kanan noted, "except in ways that I should probably leave to the sex ed teachers to explain instead."
"Well, be nice," Bob said, shrugging. "Not necessarily little things."
"And this is what we keep Bob around for," Kanan added, grinning. "Answering the real questions."
"And keeping you from being deafened," Bob added pointedly.
"That too," Kanan allowed.
Read a good book on the sexual side of marriage.
In response to that one, Kanan just smirked. A lot.
"I believe there are a few of these in the library, filed under 'romance,'" he noted. "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to encourage you to pick one up as homework this week, but to hell with it, I'm going to anyway."
"There are some really good ones," Bob offered. "I can give some recommendations if you like."
Was that weird? Probably. Then again - Bob.
"Homework aside, what about the rest?" Kanan? Still smirking. "Let's talk about all the little ways you can put that list to use in your home life, or... dorm life... or whatever it is you have. Your answers don't have to be sexual, of course. It can be something as simple as picking up after yourself so your roomie doesn't have to step on your underwear every morning, or accepting that no matter how much it disturbs you, they're going to wear that weird tunic with the furry pants and make stupid noises at your dog at the strangest hours of the night while occasionally pausing to chant over some... kind of rock."
Not that he had experience with this.
"Or occasionally listening when your...roommate...tries to give you advice to allow you to pay the rent or to save your own skin. Being nice and leaving books out for him to read. Not walking through his equations at inopportune times. Or polishing his skull from time to time."
It was possible that Bob had issues.
Okay, probable.
"All right," he told them, "talk."
