Parent Tested


At the heart of much speculative fiction (and fiction in general) is a question. What if? On Tuesdays I like to throw one out there and see what you make of it. Do with it as you please. If a for-instance is not specified, feel free to interpret that instance as you wish. And if you find this becomes a novel-length answer, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements. ðŸ˜‰

What if all adults needed to pass a class/test before they could be allowed to parent children?

(They were going to be graded on what they had accomplished when the teacher returned, so if they weren't done, they'll regret not doing anything then.) Second period, talk turned to prom. They were debating the merits of a party bus over a limo. (Apparently driving oneself is not done.) "The party bus was so fire," the girl said. Apparently her friend's family owns one (the company?). Then the talk was on where to go eat before. Certain places were "fire" while others weren't. Yup. Fire. That was the word they kept using.
