Members of the skipping club of demonstration. The group Is the Wingham public school gave the the Ontario Heart Foundation. sponsored by (Wasslnk photo) BY PATRICIA RUMMER Everyone seems to think that when parents go away for a weekend or even just a night, leaving their teenagers at home to "look after the place" there is bound to be a party add good times ahead. Perhaps this is what is expected but believe me when the parents go away good times are more or Tess hidden under a pile of dirty clothes or behind a stack of greasy dishes. Des w Despite the .wonderful visions that teen- agers seem to have of the freedom they would have if their parents went away, 1 can tell you from experience that they are just fairy tales. Even if a teenager does have a party, or invite a few friends over, things usually do not go as planned and they do not live happily ever after. Parties are generally associated with vacationing parents and other teenagers consider this an open invitation . Unfor- tunately if you get too many teenagers into • one house having a good time, things tend to get broken and neighbors •are bound to complain. This very minute as you sit reading this column my parents will most likely be suntanning themselves while on a week-long trip to Florida. Although there will be no parties at the Rimmer residence, there is a great deal to be cleaned up anyway. As for the good times created by Mom and Dad's absence?... there were few extra pleasures or occurances that don't happen when my parents are home. Things went on pretty much as normal. The only real difference was that there was a lot more work left for my brother and 1. If we didn't do the dishes or wash the clothes, we'd be eating out of ashtrays and wearing garbage bags. Between the two of us, we gave it our best shot but we could not do the same Job that a mother can of keeping the house in one piece. Actually we did well. We were given pareflts. go aw+ enough money to buy more than enough food for our week of independence. However, the meals we ate at the beginning of the week were quite different from the things that we scraped together at the end of the week'. A lot can be learned when you are forced&o tend house, cook and clean. I'm sure that many teenagers would be satisfied with eating Kraft Dinner, Chef Boyardee delights, frozen T.V. dinners and even the occasional hot dog for their suppers if they had to do the cooking themselves. This seems really funny since we all like Mom to serve us 'our meat and potatoes and dessert. After a few meals eating out of a can, even teenagers get tired of their diet so try to experiment cookingreal food. We may not be chefs in our first attdmpt but it is bound it be edible. After being on our own this week and cooking our meals, my brother and I are equally sick of the taste of pasta. Pasta is one of the few things that we both like and can THE HURON EXPOSITOR, FEBRUARY 29, 1984 — A7 Sf,+lgmes' class makes gingerbread Last week, the grade two and three class at St. James' Separate School made gingerbread cookies, The class is taught by Mrs. Holmes.

Mealtime preparations pose to be quite a challenge for the average teenager. It is no problem when Mom buys the food, cooks it and sets it out on the table but when it is up to the teenager to get everything ready for supper settling for a sandwich may seem awfully tempting. Cleaning up the kitchen is not quite as difficult as cooking meals. With meals, you are never sure how long the feast will take to cook or what time you should begin cooking. With cleaning up the kitchen you are told the minute that you reach for a spoon bowl or plate and find that they are all dirty that it is time to seriously consider getting dishpan hands. When you leave the dishes as long as most teenagers do you can count on this chore alone taking a good twenty minutes to half an hour since it may require major surgery to Please turn to page All NOTICE!
