Me too. When I lived in the Philippines as a kid, someone was trying to make “rocket fuel” and blew up the chemistry lab, blowing out the floor to ceiling plate glass windows. Whoever did it must not have been hurt badly, and the bolted, so nobody knew who did it. But there were a few suspects.
Sigh. I don’t envy being a kid today. With parents that have you on an electronic leash and wrapped securely in bubble wrap under constant surveillance, I can’t imagine them doing the things I did.
My brother did this in middle school science lab. He was obsessed with making model rockets and his experiment exploded. No windows were broken, though, but the science teacher did give me a strange look when reading my name off the roster a few years later on the first day of science class. Are you related to *** ***** he asked, white faced. He likely did not realize there were more of us still to come from that crazy family.
For the record, I did not blow anything up- but my lab partner and I did make beer as our year-end project.
