Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 12, 2015

Transcript:
Question: "Explain Newton's first law of motion in your own words"
Calvin: "Yakka food mog. Grug pubbawup zink wattoom gazork. Chumble spuzz"
Calvin: "I love loopholes"
sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2. Write a dictionary defining your words (in your own words) including their etymology and a translation dictionary into English. Define as above any of your words used on the definitions.
Actually Newtonâs 3rd law applies today: Calvinâs action will cause Miss Wormwood to have an opposite reaction.

My favorite is the âin your own wordsâ version of algebra:When told to âfind Xâ, simply draw a line to the letter X and write, âThere it is, right there!âItâs good for a chuckle, but not for your gradesâŠ
I am thinking, and it can be dangerous for me to do this; but, I think I now fully understand why the âFig Newtonâ cookie was so named..You all are thinking about it, now arenât âya?
I thought Newton first 2 laws stated that 1) if a stopped body was supposed to be moving, hit it with a hammer, and 2) if it was moving when it was supposed to be stopped, apply duck tape (though it may have been âpitchâ back then.)

I also found first grade physics challenging.
Newtonâs first law of motion -
sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

I taught my children that it is annoying trying to be too clever. Unfortunately, it didnât work.

If you donât touch an object, it stays where it is.
Things move if you give them a push.And once they get going, theyâre hard to stop.
Good life-lessons, too.

The teacher is likely to come up with her own loophole and say that those arenât words.

Calvin in class is a fine example of the irresistible force meeting the unmovable object.

Well, canât argue against him there. This one made me laugh.
Those words are so much fun to read out loud, too.
