Joy's Package

Joy spent some of her money (which she's earned selling paper airplanes and such) to order a package from Amazon this week.

She was pretty excited when she got home from school and saw that it had arrived.  So excited, in fact, that she flung the front door closed behind her and bonked her poor brother in the head.  Life with siblings certainly has its hazards.

Her package contained three variations on a Rubik's cube--a tetrahedron, a dodecahedron (that thing with twelve sides), and a cube whose facets are different sizes and all the same color.

Pretty soon the kids were all trying to solve these challenging geometric puzzles . . .

. . . except for Anna, who felt that her time would be better spent reading about rainbow fairies.
