Its fascinating enough, but I prefer the pure chemicals to the natural stuff. Lab chem means more explosions and more amusement overall."
He grinned at her, "And you know a heck of a lot more than my poor brother. Do you know that he doesn't even know who Einstein is??"
Man, this guy was smart. That made him even better.
"That makes my mom's job sound like preschool. And explosions definitely make everything more fun," she said, unnaturally happy to be actually
talking. "How does Rafe not know who Einstein is? I mean, I know we magic folk aren't that in to science or math usually, but it's EINSTEIN. He was a pure genius. Who knows where we'd be without him. It's like wizards think that just because we don't need Muggle science, there's no point in knowing it."
