I like to cook, but I hate chopping onions--I'm really sensitive to the sulfuric acid and when it gets into my eyes, I cry, cry, cry like a baby. So now, I have a technique: I wear my lab goggles. They work great most of the time! And when I'm chopping lots of onions, then I go one step further and wear those face-masks that I got when I was at Sick Kids during the SARS crisis. Yay science! When I was a little girl and read "A Wrinkle In Time", I was so jealous of Meg's mother, the scientist, who would cook dinner for her family over her lab's bunsen burner. I want to be just like that when I'm a mom.

Oh my, those onions look almost radioactive. Aren't you missing a space suit?
And the stack of dishes? My golly! Good that you have another empty sink until it also becomes filled.
You look so cute!
To echo anonymous:
"You look so cute
When you chop the fruit
The mask covers your eyes
And stops the cries"
I challenge anyone to find a rhyme for "goggles"
Finally, a practical application for science!
also: goggle --> toggle, ogle, joggle
Thanks Anonymous, it's always nice to hear kind words, and I'm sure that if I knew who you were, I'd think that you were pretty cute too!
Eema, very impressive poem. Although I don't think that onions are fruit...
Lyds, all I have to say to you is "Boo, hiss!" Don't go dissing my science...
