The night before the science fair Frank could hardly sleep a wink. When he did sleep he dreamed of adoring crowds chanting his name, of Miss Chalmers presenting him with the golden science fair cup, and how his conquest at the Wilmerville Middle School Science Fair would mark the beginning of one of the most illustrious careers that science has ever known.
The Wilmerville Middle School Science Fair was a pretty low key event. There were no golden science fair cup, and there would be no adoring crowds. But such trivialities did not factor one iota into Frank’s dreams.
In the morning Frank wolfed down his cheerios, and grabbed his cardboard volcano and rain coat as he rushed towards the door.
He just knew he would win.
He didn’t win. Frank came in second. Stephanie had put together a complex chart explaining how people get runny noses, and for some reason the teachers liked it better than Frank’s volcano. Much to Frank’s surprise, there was no golden cup, but Miss Chalmers did give Stephanie a cool looking medal.
Frank stomped home through the rain puddles. He was disgusted. He would never enter a science fair project again.
Stephanie would go on to have one of the most illustrious careers science has ever known. The year before she had finished third.
To this day, Frank swears that science is not fair.

Frank had quite a chemical reaction. He should put that in his pipette and smoke it.
Now that’s something to chew on.
He has fair grounds for complaint. I heard he went on to become a trapeze artist and became very adept at painting them.
Art is art.
Frank should have put Stephanie’s chart inside his volcano and blew it up…
Beautiful. Think outside the box, but inside the volcano.
👍
My kids never win, but they also have to do all the work themselves. We’re such mean parents.
I knew you were a grinch!
Poor Frank.
The real tragedy is that with a name like Frank he didn’t do a diorama on sausage stuffing.
You know, that’s a great idea. He would have definitely gotten attention then.
According to Frank this was a science unfair
