Arts and Crafts...

This was sent to me by a friend in an email..Who received it from another friend and so on...I thought it was pretty funny and wanted to share it......

Good Intentions ....


Teachers' good intentions go amuck!!! An elementary school class started a class project to make a planter to take home to their parents. They wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so they decided to use cactus plants. The students were given green ware pottery planters in the shape of a clown which they painted with glaze. The clown planters were professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process. It was great fun. They place cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew nicely. But unfortunately the children were not allowed to take them home. The cactus plants were removed and small ivy replaced them and the children were then allowed to take them home instead. The teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time!

See planters below..

It's a small world. I got that email too. Too funny.

Off topic: I was reading through some of your other posts and came across the t-shirt "New Mexico Cleaner than regular Mexico." HAH! I am in New Mexico, born and raised. I heard about that shirt just a few days ago, which is really weird. I want one! It's too funny!

It is cleaner than Mexico. They should stop crying.
