I decided to start a career in baking, but my cakes weren't rising to the occasion

I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough.

I was helping my kids with their science project, trying to grow crystals in a jar. We carefully mixed the solution and waited for what felt like forever for the crystals to form. As we were observing the jar, I started thinking about the process of crystal formation and how it's all about finding the right balance of ingredients and conditions.

I guess you could say it was a 'gem' of a project!

Why did the clock go to the therapist?

It had too many ticks.
