chia obama: day 1

this is my obama chia pet.


why do i have an obama chia pet, you ask?  one of my students gave it to me in may as an end-of-the-year present, which i think is pretty much the best end-of-year present ever.  since i was gone all summer (and lazy for all of august and september), i've just now planted him.  you soak the seeds in water and they make this sticky goo that you can spread on the grooves in his head.  it was messy, but i think i did it right.  here he is on day 1, all freshly planted (can you call it planting if there is no soil?):


("yes, we can...grow a chia obama!" a slogan found both on the chia obama box and RIGHT THERE on his bust.  this adds to his awesomeness, obviously.)

i'll keep you updated on how chia obama grows.  GET EXCITED.
