Jupiter

When I was in abut 5th grade we were assigned to write up a paper about a planet and produce a model of the planet. I wrote up my paper on Jupiter and started bugging my mother about producing a Jupiter model. Being as we lived with her Mom at the time and she had her hands full with the 4 other children she put it off and put it off even though I kept nagging her. I told her I had it all planned out...we'd get one of those punching balloons..the really BIG ones and put paper machie all over it then I could paint it the colors of Jupiter. Well needless to say my big project did not occur until the NIGHT before the project was due and I was stressing out! e paper machied the balloon and it was taking forever to dry...but I knew I needed to paint it! So even though my mother kept telling me to wait and wait and wait I couldn't stand it any longer! I took out the paints and started in on the balloon. Well in the midst of my genius plan I had it in my head that I needed to POP the balloon...and when I did Jupiter looked like it had been hit by a meteor! I was devastated! I reluctantly continued to paint Jupiter..but I was mortified that my planet was moshed. The next day when it was my turn to present Jupiter the teacher was very kind and we all took turns guessing what catastrophe had occurred to the poor planet. Lesson learned all ways listen to your mother!
