A Jar of Dirt

This morning as we were getting in the car to go to school, my daughter says, “Oh, I need a jar of dirt for one of my classes!”

Thinking fast I said, “OK, run downstairs and find an empty jar and go out into the back yard and fill it with dirt and I’ll go pick up the other kids and come back and get you.”

Luckily our back yard is a big pile of dirt from puting in a sprinkling system this summer.

When I pulled up in front of the house, my daughter jumps into the car and sure enough she is holding a jar of dirt.

“You found a jar! Good!” I say. She says, “Well it had jam in it so I dumped out the jam.”

“Ohhh.” I said, “I hope you put it in a bowl or something.”
“No. I dumped it down the sink.”

All I can say is she better get an “A” on the assignment!
