Physics in Everyday Life

Today I got both ends of the physics stick. First of all I was clearing up after lunch and Dan's spoon of uneaten yoghurt fell on to the side as if in slow motion. I had time to think bad words but not enough to catch it. So I watched with Interest as the yoghurt looped up in the air and landed neatly in a dirty cup standing nearby. Result! As is the case in these little surprise wins I felt better about the world.

I wander back through and try to give Dan some more orange juice, he was still up the table. He quite forcefully declined sending the plastic cup to the floor. Now somehow, probably Newton's fault, the juice managed to go all the way down then fly back up and hit me in the face. Not the cup just the juice. And thus more bad thoughts were thunk.

So there you are, in my mind two very different, unlikely things in as many minutes. Not earth shattering but points of interest in my everyday life. Now I need to wash juice off me.

Oh yes and Dan is nearly walking now. The backache stage for parents as you hold their little hands and they stomp off in search of adventure.
