Hot Pepper

In the spring Nathan's class planted some tomatoes, bell peppers & well, one hot pepper plant. The story according to Nathan is that his teacher brought some rather small plants to school & each child was allowed to pick one of them to plant. He remarked that he thought he had gotten one hot pepper plant, but wasn't sure.

Nathan was determined to find the hot pepper. He said he carefully looked at all the plants & thus located the one and only plant that was different from all the others. He said he secretly hoped that he got the hot pepper.

Well, we went to school today as I had some errands to take care of there & walked to the 3rd grade garden. Nathan looked at the two raised beds and exclaimed, "I knew it! I knew it! I got the hot pepper." - Thus the picture: A beaming child next to a hot pepper plant.
