The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 20, 2024

This usually works: PUSH!

Go-Go-Gadget wheelbarrow! Wowzers!

At least using the killing curse didn’t lead to any fatalities.

“Quantum LEAP!” ☺

You moved one quanta. Do it again.

Now try science on a hill.

I’d love to send this to Neil DeGrass Tyson

Both seem like magic to me.

Keep trying. Do whatever it takes. Maybe try a good rhyme.

OK, now try physics.

Guffaw!

Captain Kiddo, our little explorers are experiencing a propulsion anomaly in the playsector! The quantum-flux puller, a.k.a. the parent-engagement matrix, is emitting positronic giggles at warp factor crayon-nine! The flux capacitors, also known as the snack-time dilithium crystals, are generating hyper-gravitational pull towards the intergalactic playground quadrant.

Commander Teddybear, engage the hyper-vroom boosters and activate the bubble-shield deflectors to safeguard against potential teddy-bear nebula turbulence. Ensign Dolly, recalibrate the gravitational magentatron to ensure optimal naptime trajectories for the plushie passengers.

Science Officer Sippy Cup, initiate the juice-box harmonics to maintain optimal hydration levels for the crew. And remember, we’re on a mission to boldly go where no little red wagon has gone before – to the outer reaches of the backyard cosmos! Energize the tricycle thrusters, and may the force of imagination be with us!

Now that would have been some leap!

OK, I was trying to comment on my soup-making attempts when I was four and told I was using banned words. ????

Hah! He’s wearing his glasses!
