Shape-of-the-Month Club

At Mia's preschool, the shapes-of-the-month are circles and ovals. Yesterday, Mia was supposed to bring something oval for show and tell. (I honestly think Mia is a bit young to understand the concept of show and tell, though she does understand ovals and can even say "oval.") I had not noticed this event on the school calendar, but fortunately Sarah is a bit more on the ball about these things. (I promise I'll improve, Mia!) Sarah looked around for something interesting and hit on..... a potato. I thought that was rather creative. I'm not sure I would have seen the potato and said, "Oh, an oval!"
Anyway, Sarah put the potato in Mia's school bag along with a note indicating that was for show and tell. The teachers later reported they initially reached in the bag, pulled out the potato, and thought it was a rather unusual snack. I guess they eventually found the note, because the potato did return home at the end of the day.
