The Bubble That Ate My Homework

Neil wanted to test a new bubble formula: soap + corn syrup + a dash of vinegar and... marshmallow extract. The goal? Make a bubble so strong you could bounce it.

​

It worked — too well.

 

The bubble bounced off his desk, hit the wall, zoomed across the room, and swallowed his homework whole. Neil screamed, “It’s alive!” His cat hissed. His mother fainted (almost).

 

It floated for two hours before finally popping — leaving behind glitter... and a slightly soggy math sheet.

Now Neil’s known as “Bubble Boy.” And he always uses backup cloud storage.
