We NEED this photo for the blog!!!

I just couldn't pass this up. A friend forwarded this, but I suppose because she's a teacher and all, maybe it wouldn't be too good to mention exactly who it is. Anyway, I laughed so hard when I saw this, I knew we HAD to have this posted here....hahahahahaha!!!!

*Warning---if you are drinking coffee, swallow it now* 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 n icely, 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!
