I entered the science fair at my school this year with my friend Bill. Our experiment is to discover whether red wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar conducts electricity better (we found out that red wine vinegar conducts better, but that is beside the point). At the judging of the projects, we decided to get in character. Picture this: blue jeans, white button-up shirt, every pen we could find crammed into our shirt pockets, matching red handkerchiefs in our pockets, crazy hair, and all this topped off with glasses reminiscent of a government tax inspector/accountant. Needless to say, we spent the whole hour wringing our hands, answering questions with vaguely creepy little smiles plastered on our smug little faces. Needless to say, things only deteriorated from there. Soon, we were literally skipping up and down the hallway arm-in-arm, with our creepy formerly little smiles apparently fertilized with a copious amount of Miracle Grow.
Scary.
To say the least.
Anyway, the science fair and open house are happening tonight (the one before was just the judging, not the actual displaying), and we’re dressing like accountants again (sorry, Loreleigh), so we’ll see how it goes……
