The experiment

So, here is how the whole thing started... On Tuesday night Mommy was cleaning up the kitchen and talking to Daddy. She kept noticing this dumb fly that was on the ceiling above Dad's head. She had a candle jar that she was getting ready to throw away (the candle had just burned out that day), and she had just put an empty Diet Pepsi can in the jar too. Well, since our mom is so tall, she just reached up with that jar and trapped the fly inside it. Daddy didn't think she'd be able to keep it in there when she slid the jar off the ceiling, but Mommy did AND she happened to have a lid which fit the jar. Daddy called us from the playroom and said we were going to conduct a science experiment. We were going to see how long the fly would live inside the jar; we all got to guess how long we thought the fly would last, and I wrote the number of days that each person picked under their name/initial. Mommy picked the right number... the experiment passed away on Thursday afternoon. ~ Maeghan
