My third-grade daughter has a project for Thanksgiving break. She is to create a diorama (a project usually in a shoebox that creates a realistic background and characteristics of an animal.) Upon hearing this assignment, she was immediately pumped full of creative ideas.
While technically Thanksgiving Break is about a week away, she began Googling facts about CHINCHILLAS and sweeping the house for useful diorama props seconds after arriving home. She tracked me down wherever I was in the house to ask my thoughts on her latest creative use of a household product for her diorama.
While I am use to her usual creative genius, I must admit she caught me off-guard with this question.
Mary Jae: "Do we have a tube?"
Me: "What?"
Mary Jae: "Do we have anything we can use as a tube?""
Me: "For what?"
Mary Jae: "I need a tube for my diorama."
Me: "What 's the tube for?"
Mary Jae: "It represents the Chilean miners." "Chinchillas are found in Chile, you know."
Five minutes later she came downstairs with a slinky and rubber-bendable-smiley face guy. Stay tuned for pictures. I can't wait to see it myself.
