Jeremy stretched and yawned.
"Ah, Jeremy, perfect," Said Ms. Minx.
His classmates giggled as he looked around confused.
"Right up here, Jeremy."
"Uh...okay." He said, getting up and cautiously padding over to the center of the room.
"The first thing you should do is make sure your baby is properly attired. Oh this will never do!" Ms. Minx said, inspecting Jeremy's clothes.
"Baby? What are you-"
Then it hit him. They were learning about parenting this month. One volunteer was going to be treated as the class baby for an entire month and passed around from student to student. They had signed waivers at the beginning of the year and everything. In fact, he and his friends had snickered thinking about who the poor sap would be, and scheming about tricking someone into the role for their amusement.
"Oh- no. No, no. I'm not bein' the class baby!" he said, staring Ms. Minx in the face.
"This is the perfect opportunity for everyone to learn about discipline. Some babies are especially fussy and disobedient without the proper discipline!"
The teacher grabbed Jeremy by the ear and led him over to the changing table where she pulled a strap over his chest, pinning his arms in place. Everyone laughed as she shucked off his pants and delivered a few choice blows to his exposed behind. Everyone except Jeremy, that is.
Pretty soon he was crying loudly.
"There there, little one. Mommy will make it better soon. You need to learn to be a good baby and listen to the grown ups. Everyone here is a grownup but you. Now let's get you properly attired.
Pretty soon he was sitting on his crinkly butt at the front of the class in a baby shirt that said little stinker on the front and a pair of cute velcro sneakers. He pouted and crossed his arms as the teacher went on and on about how to care for him, and asked who would like to be the first to care for him.
Of course everyone's hand shot up, including his friend Jack's. She picked Jack and he gave Jeremy a vicious grin.
Jeremy gulped, thinking of all the humiliating things he and his friends had planned for the class baby. This was going to be a rough month.
