It seemed like a good idea at the time…

You know those emails you get sent from your mom or aunt or what have you? The silly stories or embaressing moments that seem to float around the internet and inevitably end up in your inbox from some family member who thinks it’s just the bee’s knee’s.  It happens to all of us..  I know you guys know what I’m talking about *wink*

Well, I have to admit I usually gloss over them and they eventually get shuffled into the “family junk” folder i have most of the time unread >< (sorrry!). However!!1 Yesterday my mum showed me one that was just too funny.  So I’ve decided to share it with everyone!

An elementary school class started a class project to make planters 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 clowns 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 planted 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!

PS. Speaking of cacti, I’ve re-planted my little Berny and he’s very happy in his new pot. He says hi <3!
