One year my DD18 had to make a plantation...5th grade maybe? I went all out, it was huge with several buildings. Then I needed slaves. I felt like the biggest **** calling around to various hobby shops asking if they had tiny slave people. It was horrible. I felt like an even bigger **** painting tiny white people black. My mom's friend was DD's teacher & I remember bringing it into school (no way was I letting a 10yo carry my masterpiece) and running into her in the hallway. She looked at it & said, "You are insane. You know that, right?.................Oh...my...god...did you paint them yourself?! ROFL!" :lol: DD14 didn't have to do that project. :giggles:
