My class has started marriage and family, and I officially am a pretend mother.
And. I'm unwed. That's right. Rockford CHRISTIAN is supporting PREMARITAL RELATIONS. This is a bit scandalous to me.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no virgin. I'm no prude, hell, I barely have morals, but my school is INSANE about abstinence and virginity and "waiting" and "saving it" and Promise Rings. So the fact that "Unwed Mother" is even an option...is scandalous.
I made my baby last night, I went through my toys in the basement and found a baby doll that I loved to play with. I took out the little box that made her cry and put a 3lb weight in her and then 2lbs of coins. 5lbs is the minimum weight, and considering I have to take her everywhere with me, I didn't want to make her any heavier.
I am naming her Ava Jo, I love the name Ava, but I have so many names I like. It was hard to pick. I wanted another AJ (Amanda Jo ~> Ava Jo, Awwww 2 AJ's!!)
I thought about making her gothic or maybe a punk/emo baby but its harder than you would think. I don't want to invest too much money in a doll. I did pierce her ears though.
Matt's "married" to a social outcast and is very upset about it. She's very odd. I made a joke that Matt was the "father" of my "baby" and that I'm his "mistress". He didn't think it was funny.
My class has more girls than boys, so thats why I'm unwed. Other options were, military wife, and widow.
This project should be interesting. I have to carry Ava with me wherever I go for 2 weeks. She comes with a care log and I have to write down what I do with her in the day, when I feed her and change her and who babysits her. I'm allowed extra babysitting hours because I'm single, which is nice.
Oh, man. I get to play house at school.
