Dustballs for Sale
The student had been thoroughly discouraged from looking for dustballs under his and his parents' beds. And under dressers. And along the top of door casings. Anywhere in the house.
"If you bring a dustball to the lab from this house, everyone will think I don't keep up with cleaning like I should," his mother had stated, firmly putting her foot down.

Under-bed dustballs for sale.
Mom won't let you collect dustballs for school? Because it would make her look bad? Buy them here. Small dustballs, $10 each. Guaranteed to contain mites for use in lab projects.

"Sure, Son. So long as your grades stay up, we'll support you in every way we can."
