This is what the Fussydolls planner has told me every day:

Fussy, what science report do you have?
"I don't know mama, I think I have to draw pictures of sunflowers", says she.

Fussy, where is your science duotang?
"I don't know mama, I think I lost it", says she.

Fussy, are you working on your science report at school?
"I don't know mama, I think my science duotang is at home", says she.
I bring you now to November 20th.... Sunday afternoon 4:30 PM. "Alright", I say to the three adult woman at my mother's home, " which one of you are going to help me throw together a science report about god knows what, in record time, with very little effort...?.... don't all speak at once..." I ask.
You have to love the "New Book of Knowledge" encyclopedias from the 1970's. They are so informative. As I know it, gardening is gardening is gardening... and although I could have hopped on the internet to find out a crash course in factual gardening, the New Book of Knowledge spelled it all out in 5 easy steps. Well, included in that factual information was some insight from none other than Bill Vanderzalm.... and there you have it... the science report. I photocopied pictures for the Fussydoll to colour, and then I read to her factual information, and then told her to tell me what I just read to her... and I typed out what she said.....it all happened in under 2 hours... and the "Science report due November 21st" is no longer a strain on my brain.
