Synopsis

Being teen parents is never easy, but when it's parents to a five pound sack of flour it is even more fraught with trouble.

Cindy's project for Family Living class is to treat a sack of flour as if it were her child.

The "father" is Chuck, "Metal-Is-My-Life" Shickman, who would rather die than take a sack of flour in a diaper to his Advanced Remedial English class.

Bribes, threats, brownies, Twinkies, and a twisted kidnaping plot are employed.

Everyone learns something about parenting and each other.
