The Day of the Potato

 The Mighty Spud

Can you imagine poor Dad's surprise the other day? He got back from work on Saturday to find me setting up my latest 'potato experiment'... And, he knew nothing about it. His jaw dropped to the floor and I thought he was going to start blubbing because I'd started an experiment without letting him know. Hwah hwa hwa...

Ewan caught red handed setting up an experiment while Dad is at work - look! No scientific looking goggles or anything proper.
Of course, I did burst into tears because I realized Dad had caught me secretly experimenting on our vegetables (or is the potato a fruit?) again.
"Look", he said, “As a lifelong, committed vegetarian you can't deprive this defenseless potatoe of light and comfort - it has some basic human rights you know. How could you even think about genetically modifying the humble spud."
"First of all Dad, I'm not a Vegetarian. So, I can torment all the fruit and veg I want. Secondly, you don't spell potato like that
"But why pick on the potato again? - the mightiest of fruit. Look at this poor little thing - what have you done to it?"
