^ Same here pretty much. I think it might have been a good project for middle schoolers to do now - it seems like it is getting younger and younger. Although some of the girls/boys I knew in middle school were already into that stuff - it just didn't seem to be as many. Or maybe I was just not as in tune.

I remember other books being written about the egg project too in the 80's, I found one in my library called First, The Egg, and students in their final year at high school were doing it for their Family & Marriage class, and the main character's dad was not okay with it but didn't protest.

I remember books about sugar babies. I read at least two where kids had to decorate and dress up bags of sugar to lug around.

Does anyone remember a book called Nothing But Trouble Trouble Trouble by Patricia Hermes? I ordered it from Scholastic in 1994. The main character is in 5th grade and has to do a pet project, but could use an egg if she has no pet. It was such a silly book yet I couldn't stop reading it. However, she was not making up anything about the egg the way the characters in this book were, she just kept saying the egg felt warm and it felt cold and stuff like that. Nothing about how she nearly dropped it and how it was safe

^ I don't remember that one, but I DO remember a book called Our 6th Grade Sugar Babies. Could that be the one you're thinking of, sparklymouse?

^Yes, that was one of them. The other was called Flour Babies and was the same concept except with a bag of flour instead of sugar.

We used the baby dolls that really cried and you had to put a key in their back to make them stop. And not only did you have to hold it in their back - depending on what 'baby' was crying about - they would continue to cry for an entire feeding or diaper change. So you'd have to sit there with a key in the back of a baby doll for like twenty minutes sometimes. Oh and if you drove you had to install a car seat in your car that they gave you to take baby home in. Talk about a pain. Real babies don't cry while feeding.

They told us to install the car seat, but since my mom picked me and my three siblings up from school and we only had a 5 seater car at the time (mini van was broken) I just stuck the car seat on the floor. I thought that it was a little more important that the real people had seat belts and my mom agreed. DUH

I got my doll at a very interesting time. We had guests staying over and they couldn't wake me up when it cried, and they ended up abusing it to get it to stop and it showed up 13 times! I had to explain to the teacher what happened before handing it back. I also didn't want to go out with family while having the doll if getting dropped home was out of the way, but I had to bring it with me everywhere and explain it to people over and over again. Plus my sister thought I was spending more time with the doll and doing homework than playing with her, cause she was still a kid! LOL

We did the flour bags in high school, but we had a Baby Think It Over that you could take home for extra credit. Not too many people opted to take the doll!
