I distinctly remember making my father an ashtray in art class at the suggestion of the teacher.  No-one batted an eye when I asked how big to make the grooves so he could park his butt on the corner.

Fast forward 30+ years, and Girlie Bear changes her design for something she’s working on because having a cigar in it would mean she wouldn’t be able to take pictures of it to school to show to her friends.

Not sure if this is progress or not.
