The headmaster insisted on summoning Oliver’s fathers, who arrived expecting the worst.
Dad said, “What’s all this? The school is still standing. I thought at least you would have caused some damage if you did indeed orchestrate an explosion. As I was told.” Dad frowned at the headmaster.
Oliver said, “It wasn’t an explosion, it was a little bit of sodium and potassium in water.”
“Not ‘a little,’” the headmaster harrumphed. “A great deal. The laboratory is unusable now.”
“It’s science,” Dad snapped. “Science never hurt anybody.”
“Not entirely true,” said Papa, and, “We’ll pay for it to be cleaned.”

John is probably having flashbacks to all the times he tended to Sherlock after an experiment that went wrong. :D Anyway, as a teacher I'm afraid I'm on his side here!
