I am tutoring my 8th grade boy, JS. We are discussing Newton's 3 laws. In a discussion of action-reaction pairs, we talk about how it's not just that the earth pulls on JS, but that JS also pulls on the earth (that's what's meant by "every action has an equal an opposite reaction").
Gus: "So, you are currently pulling on the earth. As am I. Though, I regret to inform you that your ability to influence the earth is even smaller than mine."
JS: "Yeah... because you're FAT!!"
(pause)
JS: "Haha... j/k LOL."
(pause)
JS: "right?"
(pause)
Gus: "I am going to *kill* you."
