Learnin' with Mr. Peanutbutter, Thursday, period 1
"Welcome back, students!" Mr. Peanutbutter greeted at the start of the class. "I hope you all had just really terrific Thanksgivings. I know I did! What a great break from everything that was, huh? But now, it's time to get back to work. The work . . . of Learnin'."
In case anyone had forgotten the central conceit around which this sham of a class spun.
"This week, I thought we would go back to that grand ol' topic of Home Economics. Sure, we covered some sewing before, but there's apparently way more to running a home than being able to make your own witch's hat! Who knew?! I know I didn't. Still, while I've been told repeatedly by numerous people that I am not great with the 'economics' side of things, if there's one thing I do know, it's how to make a house a home." Tennis balls. The secret was tennis balls. Also, photos of dog butts. "So today, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at some different styles of homes and what might go into making them as homey as possible." He passed out a sheath of floorplans that might look a bit familiar to some of you. Take a good long look, folks, because homes this size would not be affordable to the majority of you any time soon. "I'd like each of you to pick two homes and point out some of the challenges that you might face living in each. For instance, if I lived in . . . Shelman and Leopard's apartment, I might have some trouble with picking out what to do with that extra bedroom. Or even choosing which bedroom should be the extra. Neither of them even have a master bath. How crazy is that?" He shook his head and laughed. "If you manage to finish that early, I have some little cutouts of furniture you can play with and rearrange around the apartments. Try to create a 'conversation nook' in some of these open floorplans. It's not as easy as it looks!"
