Kids and Work: Stumped

Stumped

By uneek14 - 23/06/2009 14:19 - Canada

Today, while reading some chemistry notes, I came across the term "solid water". Completely stumped, I asked myself, "What the hell is solid water?" Then I heard my little cousin say, "Ice." I'm a 4th year science major in university. He still checks the closet for monsters. FML

Today, in science class, I was bored and playing with a paper towel, dipping it into a container of water. When my teacher caught me and asked what I was doing, I panicked and said I was "drying the water." FML

Today, I took a swig of lemonade from my cup, only to feel something hard in my mouth. Thinking it was a roach or something, I freaked out and spat out the drink. I doused my laptop and soaked myself in the process, only to find out it was a small ice-cube. FML

Today, I tried to pull the old "bucket of water above the door" prank on my brother, but the bucket didn't fall when he opened the door. He noticed it, took it down, then pinned me to the floor and waterboarded me with the ice-cold water. FML

Today, I took a poop that was three states of matter. Solid, liquid, and gas. FML

Freak out

Today, I washed my face and grabbed a towel to dry it. I felt something moving down my forehead, thinking it was a drop of water. Upon looking in the mirror, I found it hadn't been a drop of water… unless the water drop had legs and was gooey. FML

Today, I bought a freezer mug that looks like it's full of water. I've been playing tricks on my friends by throwing the empty cup at them. After doing this a few dozen times, my 83 year-old mother came to visit. I played the same trick on her. The joke's on me. My Dad filled the cup. FML

Today, I saw what I thought was a gallon jug of water. Trying to do something spontaneous and fun, I took my hardest swing at it to see how far I could kick it. It was frozen solid. I broke my foot. FML

Today, as I was leaving for my chemistry exam, I stepped on one of the countless sheets of chemistry notes that littered the floor following last night's studying. I managed to slip and knock myself out in my own living room. FML

Today, I was sitting in Science class and to my surprise I felt my pants suddenly becoming warm and wet. I looked behind me to see that 4 boys from my class had inserted a small funnel into my exposed buttcrack and where pouring the melted butter from the experiment into that area. FML

Today, I asked my college chemistry teacher for some much-needed help. Instead of explaining anything to me, she scoffed that if I don't understand something, I should "just Google it." FML

It's okay, when you study so much you can have stupid lapses like that.

It happens. You don't really realize what some things are at first, even if it should be obvious.

Everyone that says it happens is right, because it happened to me this morning!! I was studying for a test i had tomorrow, and on the pre-test it said: what is one sex cell. I was so busy studying, that i accidentally shouted, "WTF? HOW can we have a sex cell if we have red and white blood cells?" Then, I got to thinking and remembered.

That made no sense whatsoever. Blood cells and sex cells have nothing to do with each other.

Please don't go into medical research when you graduate. We need smart people to do that.

LOL, we used to do that to the no0bs where I used to work, we ask them to go to the butchers counter and ask for a bucket of evaporated water or solid water. Most got it after the butcher would laugh, there was one girl though, she called him a dumb ass and then went to the boss to complain. He had to explain it to her! Rofl

So you had a brain fart. Whatever. Happens to everyone.

Don't worry about it, that happens to everyone. Solid water being ice would be much more obvious to a young kid than to someone doing studies as advanced as you, since something as simple as ice wouldn't be the first thing you'd think of.

I really think you should have put two and two together... (2+2+4) however, the term "Solid water" isn't used a lot, and there is a reason for that... The reason being the term "solid water" has a name... It's call "ice" so whatever book that was in should think revising it... It is technically correct, but due to the language a little misleading... that said, you should have figured it out before your little relative.

Kids usually get overly simple questions like this a whole lot faster than adults or teenagers. The older you get, the more info you have stored in your brain and more often than not, your brain overthinks it and overlooks the simple. It's normal.
