CamCam Ate My Homework

CamCam has been following me around the house for the past half hour with a little bowl of cheezits. I don't know how he made them last so long, except that he did go to his brother's bowl and take some. Oh, I also think I saw him take some out of mine and refill his bowl. Anyways, he was driving me a bit nuts with them because he kept spilling them everywhere and then he'd pick them all up, just to fall down or jump or something that made them all spill out again. Finally I went up to watch some TV and had him sit at the kitchen counter to eat them.

I kept hearing odd noises coming from where he was sitting. Kinda like a crunching/crushing sound. I know he loves to crush his crackers, and I thought he was probably doing that. Or playing with them in some way. I kept asking him "CamCam, you're not making a mess are you?" and he'd always reply "No ma, I eat." I could see the top of his head from where I was sitting and let it go for awhile. When the noise didn't stop, though, I got up to check him out.

His face was a mess. It looked like it was covered in chocolate. His hands were covered in glitter and chocolate. His mouth was full of chocolate.

Today "Little Miss" came home from school all excited to show me her science project. I had heard about this project last week at parent teacher conferences, and her teacher had commented on how hard "Little Miss" worked on her project and how well it came out. I was eager to see it. I put it on the kitchen counter so that her dad could see it when he came home from work. Each child had to make a picture of an element. She had choosen copper, and she had the protons and neutrons represented in the middle with beads. Around the center were glitter rings. Glued to the glitter rings were the electrons, which were represented by m&m's.

This is what CamCam had been working on for the past 5 minutes.

He even ate the one in the key chart, picked right around the 2 beads showing they represented the protons and neutrons, and pulled off the m&m representing the electron.

Not one bead was missing from the whole poster. Honestly, I'm kinda impressed he could look at this poster and see right past all the glitter and beads and know that there was yummy chocolate glued all over it.
