If I’m at a school and there’s paper around, sometimes I will ask the younger kids if they know how to make a paper airplane. I swear to God, paper airplane making must be like a required class these days, because like 9 times out of 10 the kid is like “paper airplane? No problem, what size you want? Wings and fins or just wings? You want two sets of wings?” (Jk on that last part)
Then they whip that shit up and get the validation of my legit amazement (because I forget how to make them in between every demonstration). We throw it around for a bit and it’s good times
Sometimes I’ll say “did you know it’s physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than 7 times?” Kids always balk so I’m like “go ahead, get whatever size piece of you paper you think can do it, you’re going to probably want to involve a chair leg too and sit on it”
They usually try to cheat but they ultimately have fun trying and failing. Then I call them a failure and say you’re probably going to fail at everything else you do in life” and call it a day. Jk again on the last part
