Her: Why do you get shocked when you touch things in winter?
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.
