Grown Up
When I was little, I thought it was awfully boring how grown-ups would sit around and just talk. I mean, not play games, watch movies, they’d just talk! How could they spend hours doing that?
I realized today, though, that’s what I do now. I like talking to people for hours and hours. Am I grown-up now? This made me sad, and so I indulged my inner child a bit as I waited for my experiments to finish.
Dry-ice filled plastic vials that make loud bangs in people’s trash cans to startle them? Check. Water with bubbling dry ice and heavy vapors to make me feel like a mad scientist? Definitely. Squirting ethanol solution on the little crawly bugs that appear in our lab? Of course! Looking at random puddle water on a slide under the light microscope? Awesome.
Little things that keep me from growing old too quickly.
