Home Insemination Kit: The Frustration of DIY Projects
Today, I came across a DIY experiment for creating homemade lava lamps while browsing online. I saved the idea for a future activity with my child, only to later realize that my window was left open. When my son, Max, saw what I was doing, he excitedly asked, “Can we make those today?” Of course, I replied, feeling optimistic about the little science project.
I gathered the necessary materials: measuring cups, vegetable oil, and a glass jar. However, I quickly discovered that we were out of food coloring. Max looked disappointed, but I reassured him, “Don’t worry; when Dad gets home, I’ll get some food coloring.”
Once my partner, Tom, arrived, I made good on my promise. There’s a Whole Foods just five minutes away, so I called to confirm they had food coloring in stock before I left. They did, which was a relief.
Upon reaching the store, I found the food coloring, but to my dismay, it was priced at TWENTY DOLLARS. I spent a solid five minutes contemplating whether it was worth the extra cash to save myself a trip to the Giant supermarket that was a fifteen-minute drive. Ultimately, my son’s eager face popped into my mind, and I found myself in line to purchase the overpriced item.
As the cashier greeted me, I expressed my frustration about spending twenty dollars on food coloring. She chuckled and suggested I go to Giant, where it was much cheaper. I realized she was right, thanked her, and left the store empty-handed.
I then drove to Giant, located the food coloring, and waited in line, casually reading about the latest celebrity news. But when I went to pay, I realized I had inadvertently left Whole Foods with less money than I thought—I had forgotten my wallet!
After a quick drive back to Whole Foods, I was relieved to find my wallet right where I left it. I purchased the food coloring, rolling my eyes at my own misadventures and silently promising to avoid pinning DIY science experiments in the future.
Finally, I got home to an excited Max, ready to start our lava lamp experiment from 2012. We mixed the oil, water, salt, and food coloring into the glass jar, eagerly anticipating the visual spectacle. But as we waited, nothing happened. “Isn’t it supposed to do something?” he asked. I had to admit, “Yes, it was.” I found myself blaming the all-natural, preservative-free food coloring for our disappointing outcome.
From this experience, I’ve decided that I’m done with Pinterest for good!
