Timothy's (he was 15) health class had to "make" a baby -- as in, they couldn't use a baby doll or egg, or anything else. It had to be a manufactured baby starting w/ a 5 pound bag of flour/sugar to give it weight. So Tim made "Whitney" (a girl -- his name if he hadn't been Timothy) -- who was dressed in a t-shirt that had the "Eat at Mom's" and the bottle-busters sign on it, and carried it in a sling around school. He may have been the only student there that did it -- but he enjoyed the reactions of the other guys, especially. I have a picture of him taken that morning -- all (let's see, I guess then he was only about 5-10) with his (then) bleached blonde hair. I keep it as a bookmark in my Bible -- marking, of course, I Timothy.
