Is There Such Thing As Too Much Frosting?

We did a great experiment in school today. I won't bore you with the details since I am sure you don't care much about plate tectonics. Lucky for me, fifth graders find it interesting! I'm not lying. They were very interested to start. Their interest grew when I walked into school with two big jars of frosting and two boxes of graham crackers.

I decided first thing this morning that I should test this experiment we were going to do. I had tested it before, but thought  I needed to test it this morning really, because I was hungry and wanted some graham crackers and maybe a fingerfull of frosting! I had to spread the frosting on a plate and push the graham crackers together, pull them apart, and slide them side to side. They did exactly what they were supposed to do, just like they did the last time I "tested" it. It was the perfect model of plate tectonics. Knowing that it worked, I was left with a plate of frosting. 

What else was there left to do than lick it off the plate like a dog? Okay, maybe I could have found a more respectable way to get it off that plate, but nobody was around. I envy Shea's life, so I might as well try some of his life strategies out. Licking plates clean is one of them!

With a busy, abnormal day at school, the kids were in and out of the room all day long. When left alone, I kept venturing over to the cans of frosting. Sometimes I used a graham cracker to scoop some out, other times I simply used a spoon. Either way, I made sure that I left just enough frosting for the actual experiment. I never thought there was such a thing as too much frosting. Come to find out, there actually may be!

Needless to say, when I left school today I felt like a giant fat a$$. I've never actually had a fat a$$, but I could feel mine growing with each passing second. By the time I got home, I gathered that I had gained 15 pounds. To test it out I thought I would try on a pair of jeans. I documented this attempt with a picture. 

So, Jeff, this is what you can expect next time you see me. I will try to run it off, but I hear once it's there, it's hard to lose!
