Me: Well, because the air is drier and there's less water molecules to neutralize the static charges. Because water is polar, one end of it is more positive than the other.
Her: I don't think that's why.
Me: Yea? Why not? (I always know what's coming at this point)
Her: Doesn't sound real.
It's amazing, my mum thinks science is a huge scam but encourages me to further my education, in science.
Yours doesn't believe in science, too? I don't think it's a mum thing, XD, my mum was horrible in school because she did manual labour throughout her entire childhood. It's fun because she doesn't know much and I think the only science fact she appreciates is that apple cores are sour and bitter because they've evolved to prevent the seeds from being chewed up. The rest of it she thinks is bullshit. No idea what she thinks I do in school or labs.
