Badass Women You Should Know- Monday- 2nd period

[gobrookeyourself]

Today the class was in the classroom, handouts ready on the students' desks when they arrived, and there was Brooke, looking a little old fashioned.

"Good morning, class!" she greeted them, pleasantly. "Today I'd like you to refer to the guides that I left for you for a moment, and then we'll discuss how to find a husband. I'm sure you know how important that is in this day and age, and we're going to discuss which of these ideas would work for you personally. I expect you to try at least a few of these methods before the next class, and I'd like to answer any questions you may have."

Was this some kind of experiment, maybe? Brooke was trying to teach them a lesson about feminism by giving them something this insane?

Nope, it was totally a gremlin bite.

Or was it?

(It was.)

Considering Astrid had grown up in a household where the one big rule about dating was Never let a man stay the night (a rule that Ingrid notoriously broke, but who was Astrid to point that out?), she felt herself slide even further down into the deep pit of low regard she was already sitting in with her just by looking at this list, boggling slightly, because, yeah, this was definitely more weirdness or a gremlin bite or something like that, and so much for things just going back to normal after the weekend, huh?

But once she was able to get over her mild sense of horror about it, Astrid was able to consider it from the ridiculous standpoint where it belonged as she read over the list and scoffed quite a bit as she worked her way through it.

#6 was definitely a winner in her book. She could definitely see herself enjoying that pursuit a little more than she probably should.

And she might want to warn Sabine about #21.

By the time she got to the end, she had to ask, "Loose buttons? That's weird. You'd think loose buttons were a good thing; learn to sew on buttons, and then he'll never be able to leave you, because how else will his buttons stay on?"

She even managed to say that with a straight face, too!

"Loose buttons of course means he's irresponsible and doesn't take good care of things," Brooke explained. "Which is fine before you're married, what man doesn't play fast and loose sometimes? But if you haven't been able to change him by the time he's proposing marriage, then obviously you'll want to move on and find someone go takes care of his things. But quickly, because you're wasting your youth and beauty."

"So just youth, then," Astrid snorted wryly. "But that's okay, I'm from Hollywood, there's a plastic surgery clinic around every corner out there. But, fair enough, no loose buttons, at least not right before marriage."
