Speaking of science projects

I figured I’d take another opportunity to embarrass my poor mother.

In high school chemistry, my parents had the same teacher:

  • My father (a future chemistry major) built a working battery.  He got a C.
  • My mother (who never took high school physics) made glass… by mixing Elmer’s glue with sand.  She got an A.

I’m certainly not going to suggest that any funny business occurred… I’m just laying out the facts.
