Explain something like you're Calvin's Dad.

As in Calvin and Hobbes.

Take a random question, and then answer it as if you're Calvin's Dad answering one of Calvin's questions.

For example:

Why doesn't the US use the metric system?

We accidentally threw the notes that had the measurement system on them into the Boston Harbor with the tea. Nobody could remember it without the notes, and we couldn't go back to England to get another copy after that, so we just made something up. It was supposed to be temporary, but after a while we just got used to it and decided to just keep using it.

Why are so many celebrities mad that Donald Trump is President?

Ronald Reagan did it first actually. He was an actor once. He died though and the rights to being celebrity president lapsed a few years back. Donald Trump decided to buy them and now he owns the rights.

Celebrities thrive on drama and lawsuits. They also all have massive egos. Now that one of them has managed it, the others can't do it without Donald Trump suing them for copyright infringement to protect his brand. He outbid some pretty big names and some of them are a bit sore about it.

Others can try an alternate answer to someone else's question, or just post a new question. Just posting a question for someone else to answer is also fine.

Why do people hate paying to get into movies?

Because capitalism.
