1. Insist that you want applesauce in your school lunch.
2. In the school cafeteria, take one nibble of applesauce.
3. Return open applesauce to backpack.
4. Throw backpack around several times.
5. Let mom open backpack to discover applesauce in every nook and cranny of backpack, school work, folders AND a school library book.
6. Explain to confused mom that you didn’t like the applesauce and were bringing it back home for dad to eat.
7. Skip away cheerfully as mother stands like a deer in headlights, staring at the applesauce disaster inside your once nice backpack.
Wow! That’s a first for me. However, in high school one of my friends dropped her big ol’ chemistry book in the bathtub when she was studying for the final. And she wanted to put it in the oven to dry it. Luckily her mom was home….
And that’s how you buy a chemistry book.
