I unfortunately have a packed weekend and have not been feeling well, so no True Crime post today. Instead, I would like to mention something I was wrong about.
For years I have disliked the whole “science for girls” thing, believing that it was fairly condescending to slap pink on something sciencey and to declare it “for girls”. I believed this right up until I had to buy a present for a precocious 4 year old girl I know who is obsessed with all things pink, sparkly, and unicorn adorned. It had been requested I try to find something sciencey, so I decided to take a chance with, well, a pink sparkle unicorn science kit for girls.
She loved it. Last I heard she had told one of her parents to “go away, I’m doing scientist things”.
Worth every penny.

A win! I bought a much more basic kid’s science kit for my 4-year-old granddaughter (she’s 15 now) and she loved it. Her mother not so much but she grudgingly admitted it was worth the minor flooding in the bathroom.
