Government. That one short word sent Jack Hodgins' mind into a whirlwind of conspiracy theories and scandal cover ups.

How did anyone, let alone Booth who worked with him almost every day expect him to teach small children about government. About an hour and a half ago he was assigned a room number and given one last piece of advice. No conspiracy theories.

Needless to say he hadn't heeded their words. The last 2 classes left with their heads full of phrases like 'Roswell' 'Area 51' and 'Kennedy Assassination.' In conjunction with one or more of 'cover up' 'lies' 'bunch of dung beetles.' (No idea where that last one came from.)

As he watched the small group file in; his head was swimming with ways to not get wrapped up yet another strange government lie. He saw Parker slowly march in like a condemned prisoner and take a seat near the back. Jack wondered what was wrong with the kid until he noticed Booth leaning against the back wall with his arms folded across his chest.

Jack shook his head. Didn't Booth know that he was damming his son to at least a week of people asking 'was that guy following you around really your dad?' Jack decided it was time to get started and opened with a question.

"Who can name one branch of the American system of government?"

Not surprisingly most of the class looked at him like he had grown a second head. Only Parker's hand shot up.

"Yes Parker?"

"The legislative branch." Parker said very sure of himself

"Very good. Now what does the legislative branch do?"

Parker's eyes grew wide. He looked franticly at his father who decided to stare at the ceiling that very moment.

Jack understood. Booth had told him the answer from the lesson plan they had all received that morning.

"Booth." Jack said mock scolding him. "I can't believe you."

Booth looked down from the ceiling "what?" he asked innocently.

"Well Agent Booth perhaps you could give us an idea of what the legislative branch does?" Jack asked.

"Well, umm," Booth looked slightly uncomfortable. "Well there are 2 houses in the legislative branch, the senate and the house of representatives." Jack nodded.

"And how is representation determined for each house?"

Booth swallowed again. "Umm the senate has, uhh 2 representatives from each state and the uh the house of representatives has… representation based on um on population." Booth looked like he was about to wet himself. Jack was fighting back laughter.

"Very good Booth. You can calm down now." The class laughed. Booth gave them a dirty look. "Booth knock it off you're 36 years old grow up." the class laughed again. Booth stuck out his tongue at Jack. Jack laughed and so did Booth.

"Well maybe not." Jack conceded. Booth smiled.

"Ok back to class everyone. That is if Booth can keep himself under control." Everyone laughed again.

Hodgins looked back at Parker who was smiling now that his dad was in "trouble."

Hodgins pointed to a chart he had brought with him that showed the tree branches of the American government. He told the class to get into three groups of eight and each group pick a branch so they could do a role play.

Parker was in the executive group and was elected President. The senate group proposed a law and he vetoed it, but his veto was over ruled by a 2/3 vote in the House of Representatives.

Someone was arrested for breaking the law and they had a mock Supreme Court trial.

The entire class got a kick out of the law. The proposed law was you had to be wearing some sort of blue. Most of the class was wearing blue jeans so only 2 kids were "arrested."

Robert looked over at Booth who was enjoying the game as much as the class and took note of his black and white suit.

He leaned over to Parker and whispered "Look, no blue." He nodded his head to Booth.

Parker smiled and stood up. "Wait there is a felon in this classroom. Hodgins gave him a confused look. "Parker all the law breakers are in jail."

"Not all of them Mr. Hodgins." He turned to Booth who was giving him a confused look. "Dad, you always told me to obey the law and now you broke one right in front of me. I'm so ashamed."

Booth looked down at his clothes and noticed his black and white attire. He checked his tie and socks but still no blue. Booth held his hands up in surrender. "Ok you caught me, I'll come along quietly." He said laughing.

Parker took his arm and led him to jail in the corner. Booth sat in the mini chair and hung his head in fake shame.

Hodgins burst out laughing. "Wait until Rebecca hears you got arrested today."

"Great she'll be thrilled." Booth said sarcastically causing the class to giggle.
