An Actual Letter from My Daughters School




Dear Parent,

On Friday we are in need of some real live snails for our snail trails. If possible can you have your child bring in 2 live snails (in a disposable box) to conduct our experiment. Thank you so much!!

My response.

Dear Teachers,

Yes, I'm happy to supply to live snails for the snail trails experiment in a disposable and bio-degradable box. I've borrowed the snails from our neighborhood snail farm, so I will be needing them back. I'm sure you'll have no trouble identifying them as both have light brown spiral shells with dark brown flecks.

Sincerely,

Me

What the heck?

Dude. Grody. Bleck.

Do you ever feel like you are the one in school doing homework as a parent because I do!

hahaha, I know I always have extra snails just laying around the house.

You would think the school would order a special pallet of snails if they are needing such an exotic object for teaching!
