Stumping at the Invention Convention

What possible invention can a 6 year old come up with for a school project?! Talk about a mind bender...And it's required. And it has to work. Or have the potential to work. And she is hopeless at coming up with an idea so we have to come up with it.



I looked online and most of the projects are completed by older kids and require sophisticated technology (e.g. hammer banging on toothpaste tube). Most of this stuff's been done already and I think the teacher will know if we cheat.



Putting on my thinking cap.....

Sleeping Alone (for a week)

Hooray! My husband is going on a business trip for almost a whole week! Yay - the bed to myself! No tightie whities on the floor! No meat and potatoes meals to cook! Although emptying the litter boxes will suck, there won't be any tracked in dirt, no jackets hanging on dining room chairs, nobody SWEATING on me in the night! I will be slightly lonely, but I have the kid, the cats and the dog so I think we'll be ok.

I can go to bed at 9! No flipping the channels! I can watch QVC or the Food Network or Lifetime! No repeating myself 3 times because he didn't heard me the first 2! No getting in my way while I'm trying to cook/clean/work! No hair on the soap!

Ok, I hope he has a good time and he gets home safe. It's not like he's going to Russia or anything. He'll be back Friday.

In the meantime I plan to don my nicest pajamas and enjoy having the bed all to myself!
