* Alright, in case the last chapter didn't make any sense whatsoever, I'll
explain a little bit. I'm basing this on an actual experience I had. (NO, I
didn't actually have a baby!) At my school (and others) in health class,
there is a project called the "Baby Think It Over" project. So, sometime
throughout our health class which consists of 6 weeks, we all have to take
a baby home for the night. (Yes, even the guys! Hehehe) Of course, there's
nothing funny about this assignment. Anyone who's had to do it knows what a
pain it is and can sympathize with others. When the baby cries (there's a
programmed voice box in the back of the baby doll that our teacher likes to
set on "cranky") you have to insert a key into the voice box to make it
stop and hold it there until the baby coos.
Ugh, I still have nightmares about that baby! I had basketball going on at the time I had it, so I had to take it to practice with me! It cried 2 times while I was there. Then, it also cried when I was in the shower! (Grrrr) As if that wasn't enough, it cried 7 more times during the night. Yeah, like when I was sleeping. I was so tired by morning, and I had to go to school early to give the baby back. I also had to go to an away game for basketball, which didn't make matters better. I'm still amazed that I actually managed to get an A on the whole assignment. Sorry for my babbling...on with the story!!! *
"Now, before you take this baby, Tai, I'll have to go through the rules and regulations of this Baby Think It Over project." Mr. Fujiama took out a dictionary and set it on his desk. He looked at Tai for a moment before smiling and saying, "You might want to sit down for this."
A confused Tai walked over and took a seat next to Mr. Fujiama.
"What's the dicton-"Tai started, but stopped dead. Mr. Fujiama looked at him curiously. "That's not a dictionary, is it?" Tai asked, not really wanting to know the answer.
"A dictionary? No, this is the Baby Think It Over rule book, volume I."
"V-volume I?" Tai croaked out.
"Don't worry, Tai. We won't need to cover volume II." (*phew*) "That's right; it's mostly review, so we'll skip straight to volume III." (*anime-style tears*)
(4 hours, 42 minutes and 17 seconds later.)
"Ugh, I'm going to sleep tonight and never wake up," Tai said as he trudged into his home, lazily kicking off his shoes. 'Boy, can Mr. Fujiama talk. Half the time he wasn't even going over rules and regulations, but telling me stories about when he was in high school. I'm surprised he can remember back so far.'
Tai maneuvered himself with his baby carrier/ car seat thingy in one hand, and his backpack, baby diaper bag and two rulebooks (tow very LARGE rulebooks) in his other. 'I can't believe Mr. Fujiama made me take the rulebooks with me.' Tai mentally complained to himself. 'The nerve of old teachers who find it funny to watch their students suffer!'
"H-hi, mom!" Tai yelled upon entering the kitchen.
"Oh, hi T-What in the world is that?" Mrs. Kamiya screamed.
"Uh...hehe...you see," Tai started. "I guess I forgot to tell you." 'Oh great. How do I explain this one?' Tai wondered.
"Er, it started when you and dad agreed to sign a paper I had for school. Or, maybe I just told you to sign it and then took it away before I explained anything, you know I can never remember," Tai muttered nervously.
"What do you mean? I signed an adoption form?!" Mrs. Kamiya yelled.
Tai started to panic. He was waving his hands back and forth (as best he could).
"No, no mom. It was nothing like that, I just-It's an assignment for school. I have to take this computerized baby and take care of it when it cries. See, here it is, mom! It's plastic, I swear!" Tai waved the baby around, showing his mother, and causing the baby's neck to flop back and look like it was broken. WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Tai and his mom covered their ears as the baby started crying violently. Uh-oh.
