Those dolls/sacks of flour one is supposed to carry about in HS to show the responsibilities of having a baby

yes eggs! very odd

"Egg also a-splode at TV on the Radio concert."

My school offered the class that made you do this. One girl in my senior English class left her flour sack child on her desk when she left the room. I took the flour sack to the band room, climbed a ladder, and placed it gently on top of a speaker. Boy, was she pissed.

In elementary school I switched out my 'baby' egg for a chocolate-filled egg to make things easier. (Come to think of it, why the hell were we carrying around raw eggs? Don't those go bad?)

there was a degrassi high episode featuring this, with eggs. it seemed to be the only episode that ever got played.

Spike takes care of an egg for a week to learn what taking care of a real baby would be like. Stephanie gives away her scandalous clothes to Alexa in an attempt to clean up her act. Simon, a model for Dude Jeans, transfers to Degrassi Junior High and both Stephanie and Alexa go after him.

this is dumb, no way could an egg or bag of flour trigger the same emotions that looking after a baby would.

It's not supposed to trigger the emotions, it's just supposed to bring it home to teenagers what a drag it is having to lug something around with them all day.

I think we were supposed to do this in high school, with an egg, but I left it lying around at home and a member of my family cooked it and ate it. So I learned a lesson about my family and canibalism that day which scared me a bit.

well thats what i mean, you just wouldn't put the same effort in.
