Every kid wants to experiment when they are younger. Some of us just seem to make a massive mess when we do it.

Of all the exhibits, the “hate room” was my favorite. I learned more information about the artifacts in that room than the artifacts in any other room.

The first thing that caught my eye was the black cast iron banks.…
Daddy's Roommate written and illustrated by Michael Willhoite is a controversial children's book that was put on the list of the 100 most challenged books from 1990-1999 with the American Library Association. The audience is introduced to a young boy whose parents are divorced and addresses the relationship between his father and his "roommate" Frank who live together. The young boy explains to the audience that "Daddy and his roommate Frank live together, work together, eat together, sleep together, shave together, and sometimes even fight together" (3-8) as if they are any other couple. The text doesn't directly state his father and Frank are a couple, but referring to Frank as "his roommate" implies they are in a committed relationship.…

The therapist who worked one-on-one with the student was in the process of receiving her Ph.D. in Applied Behavior Analysis. The parents paid $120 per hour for these services, but I think they received some financial aid through the government .…
