Mercury (:30)

The thing about Mercury… is it looks cool.

But it's not.

It's really poisonous.

When you mess with mercury

It gets in your clothes, your games, your stuff, your furniture, your house…

Until everything it touches is trashed.

Including you.

It can make you sick. And that's not good.

So if you find mercury, don't mess with it.

Don't touch it…find an adult.

Because mercury is anything but cool.
