Just remember that the days are long and the years fly by. Oh, and I also remember that I did not go to the bathroom without someone walking through the house yelling, "Mom! Mom! Mommy! Where are you?" for about 10 to 12 years. You are brillant RM. Just remember that the days are long and the years fly by.

Even altering an inflection can lead to cries of "that's not right!" and being required to start over. (This would explain why, 20 years later, I can still recite the Dr. Seuss rhyme for every letter of the alphabet.) Other than that, I don't remember it being that bad... Must be hysterical amnesia.

Regarding lesson 3: in my limited experience, the wet bag, 8-12 pounds, needs to be wiggling in every conceivable direction, so that you can't put yourself into a trance of any sort but must remain unnaturally alert at midnight. I'll just look forward to the rest of the lessons. Oh boy, I am laughing soooo hard.
