    Did you have the plastic babies to take home and “care for” to scare you out of teen pregnancy? They had a key that you stabbed into the back of the baby and twisted, so they would stop crying.

      Lmao no they gave us bags of flour that we were supposed to carry around and pretend was a baby. The metric for success was if we managed not to bust it open and spill flour everywhere.

        I would go the opposite route.

        Got a BBQ? Return the bag of flower as a literal pile of ash.

        “I…umm…really don’t think I’m fit for parenthood…”

        PSA: Careful, doing this IRL. It might explode. I would get nervous heating a whole bag of flour on a BBQ. Seems like maybe an explosion risk? Or perhaps I’m just being paranoid.

          Flour is absolutely an explodey risk. The factories are prone to it. It’s a lot of dust in the air, goes boom easy, like creamer and such.

            Loose flour in the air is a fire risk. A bag of flour on a grill is not. (It will burn but in a boring way)
