Miscellaneous: Today, the "Child Care and Development" class at my high school...

Today, the "Child Care and Development" class at my high school assigned all 50 students to carry a fake baby around school all day for a week. I can't even read a page of my notes without hearing a robotic crying noise. Today is the first day. FML

Today, for my Teen Living class, all the students got a fake baby. In order to stop the baby from crying, you have to use the bracelet they provide. I lost the bracelet. I have the baby all weekend. FML

Baby steps

Today, my class got baby dolls for the week to teach us how to be good parents. After school, I went to the store with my mom with the baby doll. When I got home, I realized that I left the baby doll in a shopping cart. FML

Field recordings

Today, after our teacher had said this class would be very important and that we should take notes, instead of writing notes, I brought a recorder to class. After class, I listened to the recording, and all I could hear was muffled voices. FML

Today, I worked my first day at a nursery. At nap time I spent about an hour trying to get all the kids to calm down and go to sleep. I'd finally got the last one to drop off, when my phone rang. Loudly. FML

Late bloomers

Today, I emailed out class requirements for the upcoming school year. I had to include, "No toys, no bottles, no pacifiers, and children must be fully potty trained in order to attend." At least 3 parents complained. I teach second grade, and none of them is special needs. FML

School's out for summer, thank God!

Today, I had 15 teenagers literally laugh in my face when I asked them to be quiet. I'm a student teaching in a high school, which is the culmination of 2 years of my life and $20,000, and I might in fact actually hate doing it. FML

Today, I have to attend a mandatory parenting class due to a false report filed against me with CPS. My son's school play is at the same time as today's class, and I'll have to miss it so I can learn how to be a "better mom". FML

Today, as a natural science teacher, I was drawing a uterus on the class chalkboard. One of my students started messing around and being noisy, so I shouted, "Be quiet and check out my uterus!" FML

Today, our school got portable classrooms for the construction on our school. I had to take a dump really bad, and had to use the built in bathroom. As I was in there I heard laughing. Turns out, every sound you make is an entire broadcast to the class. FML

moral of the story: you only have this baby for a week and it's already driving you nuts. a real one you're stuck with for at least 18 years. DONT HAVE A BABY FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME. (:

I hate those robot babies. I heard noises for a week after taking care of it.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON REAL LIVE BABIES but I recommend taking the batteries out if you can.

Practice abstinence and get on the Pill and make your boyfriend wear a condom 24/7, even though you do no more than shake hands with him fully-clothed. You are not ready for parenting!

How would he urinate if he wore a condom 24/7?

Ok, 23.9/7. He gets 6 minute a day for penile hygiene and urination. During this 6 minutes, he needs to be in a separate building from the OP.

Bad Luck Brian. Both he and his girlfriend are at the top of the empire state building.

When I was in school, we had the choice to either carry around a hardboiled egg or a bag of flour for a week as the "baby." Sucks for kids today with the robot screaming babies. I remember occasionally seeing a broken egg or flour all over the hallways between classes.

I see the robot baby as a great way to teach kids now that taking care of a baby is harder than it looks, and help them make the right decisions in life.

I remember I had to carry around a sack of flour (instead of a robotic baby) in my middle school bio class. Of course mine had a hole in it. My teacher made me carry it around in a shopping bag.
