Quick Quote

So, I was picking up Josie from school on Friday. Her principal and I were standing there chatting while Josie gathered all of her things.  Josie went to her cubby to grab her artwork from the day & was very excited to hand me this painted paper plate project. It has a note on the back to parents that explained that the paper plate was a visual representation of the Earth and that the students had used proportionate amounts of green and blue paint to represent the ratio of water to land. (Clever, I know.) 
Josie was very excited to show it to me, so I was excited to say: "Wow Josie, is this the Earth?!"
Josie looked at me with a very serious face and said, "No mom. Look at it. It's just a paper plate!"
