The Power of Expectations

• Eliza Doolittle

You see, really and truly, apart from the things
anyone can pick up (the dressing, and the proper
way of speaking and so on), the difference
between a lady and a flower girl is not how she
behaves, but how shes treated. I shall always
be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he
always treats me as a flower girl, and always
will, but I know I can be a lady to you because
you always treat me as a lady and always will.

Accountability
Mixing common household cleaning products can
cause serious injuries, even death. Combining
bleach ammonia creates a toxic gas called
chloramines. When bleach and an acid, such as
vinegar, are mixed, Chlorine Gas is given off. If
chlorine gas and water are mixed they create
Hydrochloric Acid.
