JEST FOR FUN

Diana, a third-grader, was to give a demonstration speech at school. She planned to demonstrate how to make "Ants on a Log," which consists of peanut butter spread on a stalk of celery with raisins on it.
The morning of her speech, Diana took out everything she needed and put it on the kitchen counter, ready to take it to school. Unfortunately, when the girl and her mother left for school, they forgot to take the items.
Diana's mother, Beth, dropped her off and went home to get the stuff they'd forgotten. The celery was gone. The raisins were gone. The peanut butter had been put away. "Oh," said Diana's father. "I found that stuff on the counter and had it for breakfast." Beth rushed to gather up more ingredients and hurry them to school, with an apology to the teacher and an explanation of
what had happened.
"Gee," said Diana's teacher, "that's a first for that story: 'My dad ate my homework.'"
