Well, it's that time of year again, it's baby week in Child Development Class! Every year, seniors, and sometimes Juniors get a baby doll (used or new) and get to keep it and treat it like real babies until Friday. This is a required project for me and my other classmates in school, so whenever you see me holding a baby doll...DON'T ASK!

Yes, I remember doing this in the mid 90s when I was in the 8th grade. We utilized two-liter soda bottles dressed up in clothes to ALL of our classes. The teachers had a nursery where we actually had to pay (using fake Monopoly money or something) for the "baby" sitting services.

AH, the memories!

I had real experiences with a baby when I was in high school, since my mother had a baby 3 days after I turned 15. So I had hands on training with a real baby as my mother did not trust my younger sister to watch the baby(she was jealous and would make the baby cry by pinching her). As a result of my relationship with my youngest sister, we are very close despite the age difference and have never had an argument, can't say that about the the other sister.

LOL, I never took Child Development, but I have friends who did- lemme tell ya, if they make those dolls down there like they do up here, you are in for one heck of a week! Have fun!

I remember my sister having a doll in her Child Development class. I never took the class. The class didn't exist when I got to high school.

My three brothers (4 to 7 years older than me; 5 to 8 years ahead of me in school) never took the class.

lol...have fun when your baby starts crying in the middle of the night! My daughter won't take Psychology cuz that's the class that has the baby...she says, "No way, I'm not ready for that!"

ROTFLMBO!! Remember, Stooge - DON'T drop
the baby when 'ya go to the bathroom!!!

Coming from the OLD school, we didn't do that,
but, younger family members have told me about
it - I think that most of them sat on the baby,
forgot about the baby, etc...etc.... NOT a good
picture in my mind, indeed!

Now days, they actually have dolls that have a computer chip in them, which make them cry and make sounds at random times.

I remember my friends having to do those projects in HS.. Thank God I never did lol
