Homeschoolers version of "the dog ate my homework"

[freesia]

My kid brother put my chem set out for recycling.

 

Really!Truly! There was newsprint at the top--but really?

 

I'm ordering new supplies today and hoping the online teacher understands. . .

We once had "The mouse ate my science demonstration."

 

We had put pieces of dry and damp bread in well-lit and dark places. Checked two days later and a mouse had chewed through the bag and eaten all the bread in the dark drawer. Oops.

Maybe you should have changed the project to how long does it take for bread to attract rodents. LOL

 

(And probably slightly better than my best friend growing up, whose toddler brother got into her room and dumped her science project which was a bunch of white mice!)

My DD had "the kitten chewed my abstract instructions". (And anything else paper that is left lying around).

 

We also once had "the snake pooped on my math worksheet".

 

Both are a side effect of every day being "bring your pet to school day"

"I accidentally washed my book"

[wintermom]

Our always-hungry lab has eaten both book reports AND books! 

 

Even worse was when the cat peed on the book and binder. Yuck!

My husband, who tutors, heard, "My dog ate your invoice" from a student.  Corroboration came from the student's mother.

My first thought was " Well the cat sat on it". And we both know she won't get off.

"The baby ate my math facts sheet!"

 

The funny part is, he did...he's 9 months now and he looooves to eat paper.

"3/4 of my goldfish for the operant training science experiment died after I spent weeks training them to do a swim routine."  Yup. 10th grade Biology Science fair project, oldest dd.

 

"my bluebottle fly larva hatched in my mom's butter shelf in the fridge" same daughter, 11th grade Chemistry science fair project.

 

Both were re-done in time, but I then instigated the rule of no more live science fair projects. :)

This weekend we had "Mom, someone scribbled out my half done writing assignment." DD didn't finish her WWS assignment on Friday and left it out on the table knowing she would need to finish it Saturday morning. DS6 admitted to scribbling it out when he was mad at his older brother. He thought it belonged to DS8!

The bunny ate my book.

I once had to tell my PS high school physics teacher that my chemistry professor father had taken over my toothpick bridge and would it be Ok if I bought more supplies since he'd used up the official set we were supposed to use? She let me build another one at school-and invited my dad to bring his to school to test it :)

The dog really did eat my homework once. Unfortunately, it was a huge salt dough model, and the cleanup when it came out was horrendous!

Whose did better?

Whose did better?  

 

His beat mine-he's a better engineer than I am, but the PhD got beaten by several of the high school students :)

My husband wants to know if your dad had it tested and how it went.

 

ETA: Just read your reply.  Never mind.  :)
