Teenage pregnancy.

Do you remember in High School:
Health Class?
or Adult Roles?
or Home EC.?
or some class!!!!
where they gave you and a "spouse" :
a robot baby doll?
or an egg?
or a sack of flour?
or a normal doll?

And those crazy teachers said that for a week you were going to experience
The Life of a Teenage Parent?

They said you would:
Get up at 3 AM to "feed"
"Change" diapers every two hours
"Find a Sitter" if you wished to go out
Rock the baby as he/she "cried"



Now I ask you.....

Who locked their baby in their locker?
Who skipped a 3 AM feeding?
Who just let their "partner" have it the whole time so they would get a good grade?
Who gave it to their friends to watch...and then their friends dropped the flour baby and it spilled all over the band room? Never mind...
Who REALLY changed a "diaper" ?
Who really found a "sitter" and didn't just leave it in their room?

The answer: ME! YOU! THEM! and then NOT ME,YOU, or THEM to the last two.....

Don't get me wrong I'm sure out there some people really did everything to a perfect "T" ...but not many of us did.



So what I'm trying to say is that I don't think we really got the idea....
We skipped somethings, sluffed others and just plain forgot about the rest.
We scribbled quick diary logs for the past week, five minutes before it was due.
In the end we got a grade, handed our baby back ( or made it into a cake), and thought
"Wow...that was..Interesting..."
and then we moved on with the rest of our lives.



BASICALLY: We didn't learn our lesson.

So.... I think High Schools should give out newborn baby Kittens....
