Before chemistry class this afternoon, I gave the kids a speech about chemical safety. I told them we were going to be mixing some potentially hazardous chemicals and that they shouldn't touch them or inhale the fumes. Noah wanted to know what would happen if they did, so I read the warnings on the label of zinc oxide about diarrhea, nausea, headaches, etc. Sarah freaked out and ran out of the room. She returned with sunglasses on and held her breath the whole time. She refused to participate in the experiment and was even reluctant to watch us do it. She said, "I don't want to get diarrhea!"
