Invertebrate Day

On Tuesday, Sam came home with a Kindergarten class newsletter that mentioned briefly in an otherwise unassuming paragraph that Friday would be "Dress Like Your Favorite Invertebrate" Day.

Um, excuse me?

All week long, he learned about bugs, sea creatures, etc. - basically everything without a spine (except some select people I know, but whatever).....

I lamented about this odd assignment on Facebook and got a lot of feedback, most people voting for Sam to be a jellyfish. I was personally voting for a sea anenome because seriously, how awesome????

 

But alas, Sam is my simple child. Don't worry, in 3 short years Charlotte will be in the same class and will certainly want something ridiculously elaborate and doused in glitter....likely some exotic animal in the ocean that lives in complete darkness and has only been photographed twice ever.

Sam's final vote was for a killer bee. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he did not end up looking ferocious at all.

Happy Invertebrate Day to you  and yours.
