My very own pet FLAMINGO!

It's been a while since I have conducted a scientific experiment. Well, today is the day! I am going to grow my very own PET FLAMINGO! Every household needs one. I got mine from my friends Kimo & Sabi!

As you can see, I cannot wait to get started...

Harley was very eager to help, too. I agreed to let him be my lab assistant. But since he has no experience working in a lab, I do not have to pay him.

Here I am checking out the growing medium. "Growing Medium" is another way of saying "the bowl of water."

Now comes the hard part. We must wait.
Still waiting...
Harley! Please do not play with the experiment!

♪ Insane in the membrane. Insane in the brain! ♫ My flamingo is looking like a bowl of pink brains. This could mean he will be very smart when he is done growing.

Finally, my pet flamingo is all grown up! I decided to let him stand outside as a lawn ornament, until he gets dried back up again.

My very own pet FLAMINGO!

Thoughts on Thursday: Truth in Advertising

Today we are going to learn about Truth in Advertising by conducting a little experiment. Here is a package of Magic Grow Super Size. The package says just drop in water and it grows and grows. SUPER SIZE! I have selected the magic lizard for this experiment.

Here is our container of water. I am carefully inspecting the "before" lizard. He is nothing special. I cannot wait for him to grow SUPER SIZE!

Here he is in the water. I tapped on the glass, but he did not move. I guess he grows very slowly. Now we must wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.... for days. This is the hard part.

At last, he is done growing. Hmmm. I am a little suspicious. Because he does not look SUPER SIZE.

Let's take him out of the water and look closely. Yep, he is just Average Sized now.
Let me check the package again...
It says he is supposed to grow to INCREDIBLE SIZE!

I am disappointed in my Magic Grow Super Size. But if this toy was called "Magic Grow Average Size" then I might not have bought him. I feel a little bit sad that I wasted my allowance.

Professor Daisy's Tip for Cats: Do not believe everything you read on the package.
