I volunteered to help with Reality Town at Morgen's school today. He needed the extra credit that they offered if I did so, and I was already helping in Markus' class today, so I made a morning of it. It really was fun to see the kids realize just how much money it takes to be a responsible adult. They were all okay about buying houses. But when it came time to help in the child care station, they were all having a really had time accepting the fact of how much it cost to put children in day care, and a few of them even said they wanted to switch and have their spouse stay home instead, but the scenarios were not allowed to be changed. The facts were the facts.I also played some April Fool's day pranks on them today. First of I put messages on some toilet paper that said:
"The jokes on poo!"
"Who goes there?"
and other random thoughts, then floated the toilet paper on the water in the toilet.
I also rolled up some cash in the toilet paper roll...I put different colors of food coloring in the cereal bowls so when they poured the milk it changed to all different colors.
When I packed Max's lunch I switched his cookies for carrots and sealed up the bag again with a little note tucked inside saying April Fool's! I also glued shut his sandwich bag, but he said he didn't even notice that prank. So silly!
