K8: “Daddy, can you explain to me calories?”

Daddy: “Calories is the amount of energy it takes to heat 1 ml of water 1 deg, it’s like, energy”

K8: “You mean, like the energy from the sun?”

Daddy: “Something like that, very smart K8! if you eat too much calories and your body can’t use it you get fat”

K8 “like YOU daddy?”

Laughing ensues… note, my daddy was wrong, its the amount of energy needed to heat 1kg, not 1ml.
