too much fun in class?

So, in our HBSE class this morning, we divided up into groups and played a social work version of Balderdash....we were given a word or phrase and we had to come up with what we thought was the most correct definition. Well, our group had some fun...we were determined to keep things EXCITING!! haha...so, to add some excitement to your own life, whoever you may be, these are the definitions we came up for said social work terms and phrases ....

Differentiation of self: "In group therapy, when there are over 20 people in the group and 1 monkey...and you recognize the difference between you and the monkey."

Normative vs. Non-normative stressors: "These can be distinguished in two categories: Things that happen to Norman and things that happen to people NOT named Norman."

Cultural Variant Approach: "According to Freud, when people of different cultures have different colored fecal matter." (um, yeah...we thought we were toast after hearing that one read out loud...)

ABCX Model of Family Stress and Coping: "When a family adopts a coping skill to reduce stress by slow measure recital of the alphabet."

Multilevel Family Practice Model: "When a family forms a human pyramid while simultaneously signing eachother up to sell Amway."

Family Life Cycle Perspective: "When Simba from the Lion King finally raises his own son up on Pride Rock and Elton John starts singing 'the circle of life......'"

Yeah...that's how we kept things interesting in class today. And, I'm not gonna lie, I think I'll probalby remember those terms for good now :)

What a fun way to learn! The thing I love the most is that you posted about it :) Hey I might go to the temple Saturday morning. Would you like to come? I know 7 am is pretty early, but that is when I go.
