I did the exact same science fair project every year in Middle School.
I let bread sit for weeks, took pictures every day. I looked up mold in Encyclopedia Brittanica and wrote a little report.
I placed every year. That's how bad my school was.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Arnold Palmer Management Agency, Good Afternoon, this is Consuela Speaking. Can I help you please?
Every. Frelling. Time. the phone rang. It was crazy.
Oh man that would drive me nuts. I answer my phone "Mercer". Or "Brenda Mercer" if I'm feeling formal.
ION, performance reviews today (that I was giving) not as fun. There were tears.

Oh, Brenda, sorry you had to give out "you need to get on the right track" reviews. Those are not easy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I answer the work phone with "eye-triple-ee, this is Elizabeth." (IEEE.) My callers generally already know who I am, I just need to let them know they've reached me and not someone else. My boss, though? Makes me nuts. She answers the phone with "eye-triple-firstname-lastname!" I left out the "ee" there, because she does. What's an "eye-triple"? Makes me nuts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did that! But I was testing preservatives.

Heh. I am pretty sure the concept of preservatives was beyond me. There's a reason I was an English major.

Yeah, it was really tough. On the plus side, I think the shock led to an emotional breakdown which lead to me finding out some stuff I wasn't aware of (or wasn't aware of the magnitude of) and I have a much better sense of how to help her. I don't that's much comfort to her right now.

I think the preservatives kept the bread soft, but not actually mold-free.
My favorite science fair project was the one where I bought baby clothes and burned them up with a blowtorch! Good times.

Probably not right now, but it should be long-term, if she has any sense. Good luck.
