I'm pretty sure a fourteen-year old shouldn't be subjected to unauthorized experiments from an unstable thirty six-year old man. I mean, it would be okay if these experiments only involved chemistry with dishwashing soap and bubbles. You know...science things that are actually kid-friendly and safe! Unfortunately, my uncle's everyday mission was to defy every aspect of safety. One time he had me...
