Art Project gone Awry

Sometimes, even with the best of intentions, activities can go awry. Take the Kindergarten cactus plant project pictured for instance. Perhaps the teacher should have chosen a different glazed receptacle. Ya think?

Kindergarten teaching Kim, my wife, has had some interesting art projects turned in by her classes. I wish we had saved and photographed the one I am about to describe as you may think I am making this up, but I swear it is true!

It is sometime around Easter and Kim is greeted by one of her beaming kindergartners, who presents her with a seasonal art project that he thought up and executed all by himself.

He has glued together two popsicle sticks in the shape of a cross. Glued to this cross is a hand rendered, cut out figure of the Easter Bunny, his little bunny paws nailed to the cross, a big bunny grin on his bunny face, and a free-hanging basket of Easter eggs at his bunny belly.

That always reminds me of the joke about the guy who believed that Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried. three days later He rose from the dead -- saw his shadow and there was six more weeks of Winter.
