Do they (children often ask)
When my boys were very young we had a day at Falmouth and walked along looking at the ships docked there.One was a car ferry and just unloaded new cars onto the dock. Not only was the car ramp down but also a small side door on the ship as well.
Son "daddy what is that little door open for?"
Me " Well son if one of the cars doesn't work they push it out of that small side door"
Son with the classic question " Do they?". at least it made others nearby smile

Re: Do they (children often ask)
it is the constant earth movement of revolving that creates gravity. You can see this if you spin a top. All the time it is spinning it stays upright, as it slows down it wobbles and eventually falls downbloody H*** where did I dig that one up from. Oh yes I found the brain cell that landed on the floor
