Don't eat the daisies, er, raisins

It had to happen someday.

Last night, Scott was carrying dishes from the downstairs to the kitchen when I noticed an empty bowl in his hand.

"Where are the grapes that were in the bowl?"

Scott replied, "I ate them. I thought the kids had left them downstairs and I ate them."

Now, for those of you that don't know, we homeschool. David has been studying the sun (as much as you can when you're in Kindergarten). And so we've been talking about how the sun helps us do all kinds of things, like dry grapes out to make raisins - that is until Daddy ate them.

I knew one of these days a science experiment would get eaten, thrown away, or lost in the house. I'm just glad Scott didn't eat them after they had "turned" into raisins. My teacher's manual was very clear - do not eat the grapes/raisins. They were dried under unsanitary conditions!!

So far Scott looks fine and nothing is growing out of his head. Maybe we dodged this bullet - whew!
