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

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.
