Explosion!

We all know that cans of soda that freeze often explode, but did you know that the force of said explosion can also pry open the door on little pink dorm-sized refrigerators?  I didn't know this either, so imagine my surprise when I walked into my classroom this morning.  Silver cans with their bottoms blown out sitting in puddles of brown sticky liquid surrounded by apples and cheese.  It was a mess! 

Instead of being frustrated by yet another problem to overcome in the morning, I found myself standing there in awe wishing I could have been there when the big moment happened.  Must be all the time I spend with kids.

  2. So you must be a teacher, then. A science teacher, perhaps? If not, you are now!

  3. Such a positive outlook for a crummy messy moment. (Must be something in the cosmos ... because you won't believe it, but I had a small little diet coke can explode in my frig last week. We aren't sode drinkers in our house, so this had to have been left over from a summer party. But man oh man, what a mess!)
