Strange college student

Maybe it is for a sociology class, I took one on deviant behavior that required us to do something weird and write about our experience.

And that begs the question: what did you do? :)

 

I did this in an undergrad anth class. Three of us appeared in varying degrees of pregnancy, one woman brought her toddler, and we went to the mall with an older male student. It was quite an experience. It wasn't my first choice, but, wow, was it effective for studying the responses of people around us.

Two of my dd's went to an arts high school for one year when we were checking out a new city.  I'll never forget their descriptions of the students on that first day:  One kid was dressed up in a George Washington type outfit; another kid wore a giant hat all day (probably 20 times the normal size), and on and on and on.  No one blinked an eye.  It was all, apparently, totally normal.

I'm a complete introvert and a rule follower to boot so mine was really lame. I was so anxious about doing anything slightly weird that I blew out my little brother's birthday candles. I had his permission but the rest of my family didn't know. I guess it was really more of a prank but I still got an A on my paper.

I bet that was really funny!
