Physics Teachers never told us....

 

The gravity of a situation has a way of bringing one down to earth quite abruptly.

 

A body in motion remains in motion until the police flashers light up the rear view mirror.

 

The tipping point on a fulcrum is determined by the weight of one’s argument in regards to how badly a teenager needs mom’s car keys and how convincing he is in denying that he will be doing donuts in the school’s parking lot.

 

Centrifugal force puts a different spin on life’s circumstances.

 

A body at rest remains at rest unless a teenager’s father finds a dented fender in the garage. 

 

The power of potential energy can only be realized by the parent of a sleeping toddler.

 

When an unstoppable force hits an immovable object the results look a lot like a stunned father realizing his 16 year old daughter isn’t running around in a pinafore and pigtails anymore.

 

Velocity is directly related to the accuracy with which a skateboard hits a metal stair rail to grind down it.
