One of our favorite comedians, Brian Regan, has a skit about the horror of science projects called "Cup of Dirt." He describes waking up as a kid and realizing that the project that he hadn't even started on is due that day. He says, in his desperation, he fills up a cup with dirt and hopes the teacher will somehow overlook his lack of preparation. He then describes the other kids' amazing projects being brought in on flat-bed trucks and such. It really is funny. Luckily (for Hayden and me), Ashleigh pitched in and helped him out on this one. No cup of dirt this time.
