My family likes this idea for our kids when they turn a certain age. Although this will be "pretend", we will also take it seriously. So when the young adult comes home, they will be treated like a young adult. "So I hear you want to rent an apartment?" They figure out their job, their spending, their life, etc, etc, for 24 hours.

Theo's Holiday
This is an idea from the Cosby Show, our family's favorite TV show. You may already know the episode, but if you don't, here is how it goes. Theo thinks he can make it in the real world, so when he comes home his family has a surprise for him. Theo is given a certain amount of money (monopoly money) and has to rent his own apartment, buy his own furniture, have his own job, etc, etc. Basically, he is supposed to do life on his own. His room is empty.

The two goals for this event "Theo's holiday" are the same as they were in the show. 1. For fun. 2. For "Theo" to learn about the REAL WORLD.Theo's Holiday
