Smart kid. Tell him chemistry is like making cookies. Then make cookies. At that point he might like chemistry a little more…depending on how many chocolate chips are in the cookies.
That’s some advanced school! Post a pic of him in his little goggles.
Hey, where’s Brewfan been?
Brewfan wasn’t able to take Chemistry. They didn’t have any safety goggles big enough.
OSHA fail.
I was trying to explain to him the difference between a p-orbital and an s-orbital, and he kept zoning out. I wonder if he has ADHD…
Well, I really wasn’t associating Brewfan with chemistry — it just suddenly occurred to me that I haven’t seen him around lately and I blurted it out.

Blurt Alert!
Hi Lips.
It’s hard when we do Chemistry.
That’s what your mom said.
Okay, I’ve been stuffing him full of Ritalin for the past week, but when I tried to explain the difference between ionic and covalent bonds, he didn’t get it at all. Either it’s not ADHD, or else I need to step up my game:
Chemistry is just a word for the drugs we want to do together.
Sobek, this might be an opportunity for you to explain the facts of life to the lad. “Ionic bonds are like, when you’re just holding hands with a girl in the coat room. Covalent bonds are more like when you marry her, and she ruins your whole life.”
