HPMS Supply Room Rules
I worked my first shift in the supply room at the middle school today. I’m wondering about the background incident that led to this rule posted on the counter. And if the rubber cement requires a warning, why is this item available for general sale? I’m just sayin’.

I suspect it has something to do with rubber cement’s flamable nature. Just the thing for pasting your initials in the street and lighting them up. Or making your model car leave flaming tire tracks like Doc Brown’s Delorean.
They don’t sell it because it is intoxicating. From http://www.wisegeek.com:
In recent years, teenagers have discovered that rubber cement has the potential for abuse as an inhalant. When the fumes from rubber cement are inhaled on a regular basis, they produce effects that are similar to the result of alcohol consumption. However, the effects of huffing or sniffing this glue can include brain damage, cardiac arrest, dizziness, hallucinations, and serious heart or lung problems. Rubber cement also contains a variety of poisonous ingredients, including paradichlorobenzene, trichloroethane, acetone, heptane, and isopropyl alcohol.
Merritt, seems you’ll need to expand your watchful eye of moms drinking before carpool to also volamoms using rubber cement on a school project prior to carpool.

TG- She also worked a cafeteria shift on Friday at the elementary school arriving promptly at 10:15 and staying until 1:00. It was a busy day for Merritt-the-Volamom.
