Home Ec is Outrageous!; Monday, Period Five [ 08/09 ].
"Well, then!" said Aquaman as the class gathered for the day. "We've all had quite the outrageous, exciting weekend, haven't we? Thankfully, do I have the easy class for you today, as well as someone who might help get you through the week!"
It was at that moment that, with a great dramatic flair, Aquaman yanked off the sheet that had been covering the table to reveal a whole collection of various different goldfish swimming around in lazy circles in little glass bowls.
"Aren't they adorable? And, this week, they'll be your children, because today's lesson is about being a good parent and the importantance of children well-raised in a society cough cough line about Little Sisters here cough. The family is the very crux of every household! And while I hope you've still got some time before you need to worry about settling down with little kiddies, preparation is often half the battle! I myself have a son, Arthur Jr! He's just about a teenager himself, so the road's probably just about to get bumpier."
On that note, Aquaman turned toward the board and lifted his marker.
"Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation." C. Everett Coop was written with the requisite squeaking strokes of his pen.
He took a step back to admire the words of wisdom.
"So!" Clapping his hands, he did a turn to face the class again. "Today, we're going to watch a film about the adventures inherant in being a parent! Happiness is one of the most important elements to a well-run household, and happiness goes with family and love! But before we settle in for that, let me introduce you to this week's assignment! Congratulations! It's a baby fish!"
Aquaman chuckled, clearly pleased with himself and this idea. "Come on up, and each of you claim your adopted son or daughter for the next week! A fish, generally, is far less demanding of you than a real child, it's true, but this is going to be more than just feeding them and keeping their water clean! I expect you to interact with this fish as you would a real child; talk to it, care for it, love it and treat it well! Don't let it die, which, for goldfish, is more difficult than you'd think! And don't just go an replace it with a new one. Believe me, I'll know. I'll know a lot of things about how your week with your fish went, from the guppy's mouth itself, as they say!"
"So come claim your fish, get to know him or her a little better, and have watching the film be your first activity together as a new family! I've brought plenty of popcorn and fish flakes! It should be a nice, wholesome activity to help you get back into the swing of things this week!"
