One of the more mischievous kids in my third grade class was the son of the high school chem teacher. He purchased a chemistry set at the book fair that year. He and another kid took it into the bathroom by the cafeteria and drank a few "experiments" from the kit in the box. They both got violently sick and an ambulance came. I'm really glad I stuck with my Box Car Children collection and Calvin and Hobbes book mark that year.

Huh, my schools never had kits like that at the book fairs. Just books, pencils, erasers, folders.

Yup. Ours had some really expensive hobby items in addition to the books and book accessories. They had a rock tumbler kit one year I remember wanting really bad. My grandparents ended up getting me one for Christmas. I recall a telescope one year as well.

Oh man, I bet that was a proud moment.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
