Banana peels?
When I was in kindergarten, I heard that hippies were scraping, drying and smoking banana peels. My monther, who was quite the Drama Llama, rushed us kids off to the doctor to have him talk to us about smoking banana peels. (Why a five and seven year old would smoke banana peels was beyond me). He told us that he and his teenaged daughter spent an evening trying it and it didn't work.
I would dearly love to see how the overprotective and litigation-phobic school administrators and parents are going to handle this. Will kids be issued butt plugs so they cannot defecate while at school? Will guards be posted in each lavatory to make sure the kids come out empty handed? Will children who defecate during school time be suspended, like that wacky and out of control girl who chastely hugged her friends on a Friday? One detention for Number One and two detentions for Number Two!
The real solution is to let the kids have access to beer and pot. We already know how that stuff works and we can share ours with them.
