cohenisms, part 86

cohen, without any prompting: “i think that things that are heavy fall faster than things that are lighter.”
me: “well, actually… [insert teaching moment regarding physics, acceleration of gravity, mass, and force using a lego toy (lighter) and a bottle of salad dressing (heavy) for demonstration]... so does that make sense?”
cohen: “yeah, heavy and light things will fall the same fast, but heavy things will make a bigger crash. can i have milk?”

et cetera.
