Both my DD's were working with "Perler Beads", and DD10 created a design so that a white bead sat next to a clear bead with rainbow colored beads in a half circle around the clear bead. She started a information session about how the clear bead was acting as prism creating a rainbow effect, and DD12 just got cranky because she was being "crafty" and didn't want to hear science talk. DD12 is all about hair and cooking and 6th grade events. DD10 cannot figure out why that stuff is so exciting. It kind of puts into perspective why DD10 find herself on the outs with many of the other 6th graders. I, of course, find her educational talks quite interesting!!!
