Anakin and Obi-Wan were at the front of the class, as always, but this time they were joined by a crate of eggs, which was unusual.
"Instead of the robo-babies, which I've been informed were slightly off-putting," Anakin said, making a face, "we are trying something new: egg babies." He shrugged. "Apparently this is more normal on this planet."
He was judging you so hard, Earth.
"We have considered giving you eggs that actually need to be hatched," Obi-Wan continued, "But that would require rather more of a time commitment than we were planning to ask of you. Instead, these eggs are empty--" Except for the sensors that SOMEONE had put in there. "--But they still require some amount of tending." Beat. "Or at least not smashing them."
"Definitely not smashing them," Anakin said, glaring. "You will each get one because I don't believe that one parent should serve as primary care provider and one as secondary. You also didn't get any warning because sometimes you don't get any warning. You must carry this egg around with you for the entire week. Do not leave it in your room. Do not bounce it down the stairs. You may, if you choose, give it an outfit and take it trick-or-treating, but that is optional."
"If you do not," Obi-Wan said peacably, "We will know."
Or maybe that was a threat. Who knew?
