Not letting a minor detail like the cap being threaded wrong keep me from my tea

I took Meitner to the vet on Monday (she's fine, it was largely for my own blood pressure) and five different strangers stopped to tell me how pretty she is. She knows she's gorgeous, but appreciates being told it.

The great thing about the Ember age group is that sometimes one of them will comment on your earrings and you end up doing a little impromptu lesson on how DNA works. The nice thing is these are big enough that I could show them how the replication works!
