Today Carter came home from school with an interesting envelope. At school, the kids in his Discovery Program received an owl hairball/pellet to dissect. Carter didn't finish dissecting his, so he brought it home in an envelope to continue working on. To be honest, I was a little distracted, and was only paying half attention while he was telling me all about what was in his envelope. I was saying things like "Cool Carter. Wow, that's neat!" - until I heard him say "and this is a mouse tooth..." That caught my attention and I looked up, and noticed he was really holding what appeared to be a mouse tooth with his bare hands. I panicked, made him wash his hands twice, and gave him a lecture about rabies and "things that are gross." I was relieved to hear that they did wear gloves when they worked on it at school.
So far, that is the most interesting school assignment I've ever seen.

Maybe I'm glad Sally didn't make the cut for the gifted program after all.
Gross! I would have been worried about the germs too. This is quite the assignment for a second grader.
Mallory's story made me laugh, she's so cute!
