Okay, today's question was a doozy. I need to look up a better answer to this one.
Just as we were pulling into the Dinosaur Park today, Makela was drinking her water, and blurted out: "Mommy, why is water wet?"
Oy vey. I managed to take a scientific approach, telling her that it's because of the way water holds together in each of its tiniest parts -- called molecules. Each molecule is made up of two hydrogen parts and one oxygen part. When they come together, they are a little "sticky" and feel like a liquid.
That's the best I could muster on such sudden notice. It seemed to placate Makela. For now, that is. For now.
