2、     Last year in my high school child-development class，each student had to take the “Think-It-Over” baby home for a night to get a taste of parenthood.

It was a Friday night when my turn came to take the 10-pound plastic doll home. The doll really did look like a live baby from a distance. It even had a pleasant baby powder smell. I took the baby home and named him Tyler.

My friends and I went out for supper that night. As it was rather cold, I decided to wrap Tyler in a blanket and carry him in that way. When I walked into the restaurant, I noticed some very strange looks and quite a few raised eyebrows. My friends and I decided to make a game out of the whole situation. I stood in the Gorner pretending to rock Tyler to while my friends kept looking into the blanket and said, “Oh, how lovely. ” I could not but laugh. And although it was funny to my friends and me, some of the people did think it was so funny that  I had a baby. I overheard one couple say，“Why would she g a baby here?” These people were giving me rude looks and forming judgments about because they thought I was a teenage mom. Others just smiled at me pathetically(同情地) and felt sorry for me because I was only a child with a child. In our meal，my friends and I received strange looks from the others in the restaurant. S so glad to finally go home.

I learned a lot through my experience with the “Think-It-Over” baby. The dollly strengthened my thinking I was not ready to be a parent, but it also made me e aware of the larger picture. It opened my eyes to the judgments people make about rs. People do not realize that some things are not the way they seem. I was only  ying it around for a class project. The people in the restaurant were so quick to judge because they thought I was a teenage mom. I sometimes catch myself judging people I not know, just because of the first impression they give. In  reality, I have no idea about real stories. We should all be slower to judge others，and realize that some things are as they seem.
