Hard to believe today marked the 100th day of school (or as Royce might say, "Only 80 days left!").
The 100th day, of course, means a day filled with 100 everything.
A week or so before this day, we always ask the kids to complete a family project at home in which they are to create something with 100 items. (This usually entails a poster filled with beans or noodles or pennies.) It's fairly easy to see which parents simply helped, and which parents DID THE PROJECT! At this age, they don't realize this is a bad thing and would most of the time reveal that their mom counted it out or pasted them down.
One parent, however, must have expected this might happen and took steps to prepare their child . . .
Mrs. Marsh: [student], how creative!
Student: (smiles)
Mrs. Marsh: I love how you spelled your name out with 100 noodles. Did you count all these noddles out?
Student: Yes.
Mrs. Marsh: Wonderful! And you pasted them on, too?
Student: Yes. That's what my dad told me to tell you.
Mrs. Marsh: Oh, so you didn't do it?
Student: No, my dad just told me to tell you that. He did it at work.
Oh, the innocence . . .

That is hilarious! Your Dad especially enjoyed it since he gave you opinions on lots of your science projects.....I must say though, he never did any projects....that is too cute!
Okay. You weren't paying attention, Mom. Dad won several first place ribbons in the science fair under the pen name of "Jennifer Ross" at my elementary school.
Actually, Jennifier needed a little more help than Holly. No, really, for both of you guys, I provided "guidance" and encouragement. You did most of the hands on work.
