Attention kids

I overheard you playing with your cousins on the trampoline this morning, pretending you were all skydiving.

While this may work fine in an imaginary situation, for future reference:

If you jump out of a plane and forget your parachute, it is NOT good form to ask another falling skydiver if you can borrow theirs for a few minutes, and then give it back to them after you've landed, so then they can land with it, too. Gravity doesn't work that way.

Thank you.

  2. Bashing children's imaginations, again?

    Where would we be if Einstein's father had kept reminding him that space and time were constants?

  3. "Gravity doesn't work that way" ?

    But it does ON A TRAMPOLINE. You should know that. (Are you sure you're a real doctor?)

  4. It never hurts to ask. At that point, you really don't have anything to lose anyway.
