In school one day, the teacher decided that in science class she would teach about the elements.

So she stood in front of the class and said, "Children, if you could have one raw element, what in the world would it be?"

Little Stevie raised hand and said, "I would want gold because gold is worth a lot of money and I buy a Porsche."

The teacher nodded and called on Little Susie. Little Susie said, "I would want platinum because platinum is worth more than gold and I could buy a Corvette."

The teacher smiled and called on Little Johnny. Little Johnny stood up and said, "I would want silicon."

The teacher said, "Why Johnny?"

He responded by saying, "Because my mom has to bags of it and you should see all the sports cars outside of our house!"
