Ponyboy taking home ec in highschool 🥺

He's literally the only boy in the class (it's the 60s but like hell is anyone gonna keep Darrel Curtis's baby brother out of a class he wants to take) and the teacher doesn't like him at first but will later fall under his spell because Ponyboy is a Delight™ to have in any class.

And it just made sense, ya know? He's got Soda and Steve if he wants to learn about Auto Mechanics (and he do) and Darry if he needs to learn Woodshop Related Things

What he Doesn't Have is his Mama to sew up his britches for him when he rips them hopping fences. Or to let down the hems on his and his brothers jeans while they're growing. There's no one at home who could teach him how to do the laundry properly or make a meal plan or anything like that and Home Ec is the Solution

also when they learn basic embroidery he uses it for Evil almost immediately putting little flowers n shit on his brothers' cuffs and hems whenever they Annoy Him. Steve leaves his jean jacket at the house Once and Pony gets his lil mits on it and it takes a week to for Steve to pick out the Dozens of lil lazy daisies
