Why is it, when I’m in the car,
the moon is always
following me?
How come
when I’m in a bath,
water sits on itself and
how does it do that?
How do clouds move and
why are they always moving?
What can be really good camouflage?
Is the Earth really just a giant meteor?

Why is it, when I’m in the car,
the moon is always
following me?
How come
when I’m in a bath,
water sits on itself and
how does it do that?
How do clouds move and
why are they always moving?
What can be really good camouflage?
Is the Earth really just a giant meteor?
And how can you tell if a mushroom is poisonous or not?
And how does a tree always keep its balance?
And, if you are standing on a cloud, would you fall?
