A father comes home and asks where his son is. His wife replies that he's downstairs playing with his new chemistry set. The father is curious so he wanders down stairs to see what his son is doing. As he's walking down the steps he hears a banging sound. When he gets to the bottom he sees his son pounding a nail into the wall. He says to his son, "What are you doing? I thought you were playing with your chemistry set. Why are you hammering a nail into the wall?" His son replied, "This isn't a nail, dad, it's a worm. I put these chemicals on it and it became hard as a rock." His dad thought about it for a minute and said, "I'll tell you what son, show me how you did that, and I'll give you a new Ford Taurus." The next day the son went into the garage to see fi his father had told the truth. Parked in the garage was a brand new Mercedes. Just then his dad walked in. He asked his father where his Taurus was. His dad replied, "It's right there behind the Mercedes. The Mercedes is from your mother."
