I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with the wacky antics of literary classic Amelia Bedelia. What immediately comes to mind for me is when her employer asked her to "draw the drapes" and she sat down with pen and pad and sketched a picture.Yesterday my daughter had a field trip to a nature reserve. It is well known around the school to be one of the best field trips, so needless to say, she was pumped. I had to run to Walgreens late the night before to buy her a disposable camera for the trip. As I was looking at the slim offerings, it was killing me to pay almost $8 for a camera when I knew developing was going to be another $10 and from past experience I also knew that most of the photos were going to be of the tip of her finger.
What I didn't realize was that it wasn't going to cost me that much after all. When she came out of school yesterday, she was really excited and telling me all about how much she enjoyed the trip. I inquired about the photos and she said she took some really great ones. Then I asked where the camera was to which she replied matter-of-factly, "I threw it out. It was disposable."
