Explaining 72 hours to a 3 year old.....

We went to the grocery store and Savannah picked out a couple of Valentine's Day things. She picked out a love bead necklace, 2 boxes of conversation hearts (one for her and one for Kyle) and this package of roses that is supposed to grow 600 times it's size. They are also supposed to get small again so you can do the process more then once.....not sure why people would need to do this. Maybe they should get children!!! Children will make a mess and then the next day they will make another for you!! Plus it is not the same mess over and over so Mommy's never get bored!
See they are pretty tiny and it said to put them in a large bowl. I'm thinking this is not going to work anyway and we should put them in a bowl that she could hold and swirl around.

Here is the package...see my future supermodel holding the display! Anyways, the package said to put it in room temperature water and let it sit for 72 hours!!! What??? We need instant results here!!! It did say some change would occur within 3 hours. Savannah gave it about 5 minutes and came back and said it is not working!!! I had to agree with her nothing was working and it just looked like a blob in the water. She has now taken it out of the water and looked at it a dozen or more times over the weekend. Has it gotten larger? Yes, but by her three year old standards it is not getting big enough. When it reaches it's final size I will have her take another picture and show you the amazing growth ability of a 99 cent item!!!
