Mandatory

At school, Klara has an activity called “mandatory fun.”

I’ve been pondering this for weeks, and I’m still not fully over it. Truly, only teachers can come up with something like this.

    This is what mandatory unit family picnics are referred to in the military.

        Also a Weird Al album, but pretty sure he was also riffing on the military joke.

    I imagine the name is a joke that is completely lost on the children.

    LOL. That term actually comes from the military. It stems from forcing soldiers to attend not-so-fun things like military balls, etc.
