WORMS

 We are nearing the end of our Animal Science book. The chapter on worms afforded us the chance to get dirty AND eat treats... we made dirt sundaes and used gummy worms for our diorama project...we were going to do that whole pinterest Jell-o Worm thing, but ended up needing the Jell-o we had on hand for our Cell Project in Plant Science.

Logan's Worm Habitat

Fisher's Worm Habitat

Studying worms put me in the mindset of an old song that we used to get sung at us whenever we may be suffering an episode of self-pity...and, that old song worked every time, but not, I believe, because it illustrated the futility of our folly to us in a fun and ironic way, rather, simply because it ushered the Pity Party Host & Guest of Honor  immediately from Depression into Anger .

(for the record, I had never heard the parts about "down goes the first one, up comes the first one..." 

YUCK

That would have made me even madder, I imagine...
