Peanut Butter Rootbeer
It seemed like a good idea to combine my two favorite foods in the
world, but sometimes your two favorite foods in the world don't
exactly mix very well in your mom's blender.
Status: Failed (I couldn't get the lumps out)

Sister-Be-Gone Repellent Spray (a.k.a. Isabelle's Smell)
It's brown, it's stinky, and it's definitely going to keep my sister out of
my room. However, it is
not permanent. Sister keeps coming back to
spy on me. I need a secret, special ingredient.
Update: I have found it!
Status: Success! This one is going to be BIG!

Brocco-Bot
A pocket-sized robot that will eat your broccoli (or any other
vegetable) when your mom and dad aren't looking. A good idea, but
it's eating everything, including my skin! Ow!

Edible Socks
Socks you can eat so you don't have to put them away on laundry day.
Makes a good snack or when you've left your lunch at home, too! Yum!
Update: Don't use fruit roll-ups. Too sticky.

Scab's Tip #29
You can find the best dead
insects under your deck,
under your porch, and under
my sister's pillow (shhh—she
hasn't found the dead stag
beetle I left there yet!)
