Oh no...

So being back at home for a week means rooting through old journals (most of them which chronicle my unrequited love for Lowell Sapiro in 5th grade), dusty report cards and science fair projects. While other students were surely building batteries or measuring pollutants, I was, apparently, conducting "Tests on Cats." (Above is a snapshot I just took of the actual board in all its visually- and verbally-stunted glory.)

My "hypothesis" - if you can call it that - was as follows:

"I decided to do this because I didn't know that much about my kittens and I still don't know everything but I know much more than I did before."

I then proceed to outline a series of experiments and their "scientific" results, with photos as proof.

I think this picture say it all...



















According to the aging piece of paper attached to the rather spartan display, I was trying to answer the incredibly important question, "How do cats' eyes react to bright lights?" And yes, that is a flashlight I am in shining in their sweet, undeserving, faces.

So clearly apologies are in order:

Sorry to my two cats...I knew not what I did.

Sorry to my teachers for delivering a "science project" that merely showcased a bunch of cute, albight tortured, kittens.

And sorry to my parents because no doubt they were forced to lie and compliment this monstrosity.
