The rainy season strikes again - everyone is sick, and the locals are telling us that it's either because we aren't wearing gloves when it's raining, or because we're dumping hot water down the drain, thus angering the drain-djiin.
There were only 3 teachers to actually make it to the elementary school yesterday; and all three were mildly ill. In the middle of math class, the elementary principal walks in. She is fantastic. The whole sixth grade choruses 'Goooood moooorning' in a sufficiently adorable way to diffuse whatever irritation she might have from their latest misdemeanors, but she reassures them that she's only here to bring me some Vitamin C.
She pours me a cup of water and hands me a dissolvable bright orange tab, which immediately begins fizzing once dropped in the water. She doesn't realize what a gift this is for the science class. I yell 'CHEMICAL REACTION,' and the whole sixth grade bounds out of their seats to watch the Vitamin disappear in the cup of water, staining it fluorescent orange. We spend the next 10 minutes discussing reactions, chemical solutions, and the importance of vitamins to the body.
I love my job.

I am thinking that even if you had not been standing in front of a science class at the time, you still would have yelled "Chemical reaction" when putting a vit-C tab in water... just a guess though.
