Unintentional Porn: Mother's Day Cactus Planters

My cousin sent me this email probably about five years ago and I've saved it ever since. In honour of Mother's Day, I repeat it here.

An elementary school class started a class project to make planters for Mother's Day. They wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so they decided to use cactus plants.

The students were given green ware pottery planters in the shape of a clown, which they painted with glaze. The clown planters were professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the process.

It was great fun. They planted cactus seeds in the finished planters and they grew nicely but unfortunately the children were not allowed to take them home…the cactus plants were removed and small ivy replaced them and the children were then allowed to take them home instead.

The teacher said cactus seemed like a good idea at the time…
