The teenager finished his DNA model. It took a lot of poking and prodding, but he did a fairly decent job. Since the styrofoam balls were so expensive, he used craft wire and modeling clay.
He had to write a 1-paragraph report on the functions of each part of the DNA and why he used the materials.....You would have thought she had asked him to compose a 20 page report complete with color graphs. Suck it up, son, put on your big-girl panties, and write the danged 1 PARAGRAPH!!
The model was supposed to be 26-36 inches.....it was 18. It's not like, whoops, we were off an inch or two....NO, it was a full 8 inches off! BLAST! That'll teach me not to stand over him like a hawk! I just hope he gets a decent grade.
In other news, my hubby is on a business trip this week. My sweet mother came and stayed the night to help out this poor, frazzled, mom. Those kids wore her out! I begged her to stay the rest of the week, but she shot out of here like a jack rabbit with it's tail on fire. Wow.
So, here I am....alone....with all these kids. And, while I am eating hamburger helper, my sweet husband is eating creme brulee, swordfish, and other fancy food items. Must be nice.

You need some chocolate!!! I think my mom would have hightailed it out of my house to. FUNNY!
excellent DNA model. What is 8 inches really? A few missing chromosones never hurt anyone did it???
Love imagining your mom fleeing the house. Enjoy your hamburger helper. Maybe the hubby will take you out when he gets home.
I left something for you at my blog
