Two-circle Venn Diagram. One circle is labeled “Lab health & safety”, the other is labeled “A tired parent”. The intersection is labeled “Constantly saying _no_ to overexcited people trying to kill themselves” In 1985, I was a 1st year Baby PhD student and when I got to the lab, there was this dirty beyond belief fume hood and an ancient setup for distillation that was used to re distill PHENOL and I was told the 1st job of every new grad student was to redistill a new lot of phenol LOL |

Accurate. The “No” usually occurs after the second attempt though. Definitely for scientists, but probably also for toddlers.
