Today they were getting their introduction to the atom. We did the rub-the-balloon-on-the-head-to-make-the-hair-stand-up bit. I made the stream of water bend. And I went over the proton, neutron, and electron stuff. The basics.
But this all reminded me of college. I used to sit in my college chemistry class and try to stay awake. Taking notes only did so much. I used to let my eyes wander, and they'd see the periodic table that was posted behind the professor. And my eyes always rested on lithium.
This was the early '90's. So, a certain song would go through my head. "Lithium" by Nirvana.
To this day, when I think of the Periodic Table, I think of Nirvana. Silly, I know, but it entertains me.
