Milk and Cookies

 

Subject:  Biology Exam- Priceless, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.' The question was worth 70 points or none at all.

One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. However, he wrote:

1) It is perfect formula for the child.
2) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3) It is always the right temperature.
4) It is inexpensive.
5) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6) It is always available as needed.

And then the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote:

7) It comes in two attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get it.

He got an A.

 

 

 

Yes, those ARE cookie crumbs you see on my face.  Yes, I AM eating Girl Scout cookies.  Yes, they ARE Samoas--the best of GS cookies.  Yes, it is only 6:06 A.M., and I am feeling a little woozy.  No, I am NOT sugar free anymore.  Yes, I DID enjoy 4 Cadbury caramel eggs yesterday.  Yes, I AM looking forward to brown licorice today.  Yes, I WILL return to sugarfree soon--deep down inside I know I should.  No, I am not the self-discipline maven I was a mere 48 hours ago.  Yes, I feel a bit diminished.
