The Baby Borrowers

I took a personal day from work today to deal with some doctor appointments -- which gave me time to surf the net this morning.

Look at this new TV program I found out about:
http://www.nbc.com/The_Baby_Borrowers/

The premise is that a bunch of teenage kids are given babies to 'borrow' for a few days to see whether they can deal. It takes me back to junior high when a health class project was to have the girls take care of sacks of flour to give them a glimpse of what it was like to have a child all day.

I think the project may have had the opposite of it's intended effect (to convince girls that it was really hard to have a baby.) I remember all the girls carrying sacks of flour dressed in cute baby clothes. And what would be the consequences if you left your immaculately dressed sack of flour in the car for 5 hours? Absolutely nothing. And I'm pretty sure those sacks of flour slept through the night.
