When my ex-girlfriend started riding mtb, she would ride way too slowly through techy sections, then lose her balance. The same applied when she started riding dirtbikes. I got her to continually repeat this mantra:

"A moving bike is an upright bike. A moving bike is an upright bike. A moving bike is an upright bike..."

She started saying that to herself all the time, and she became a better rider without balance problems.

In other words, when a bike is not being ridden, it falls over.

More kiddy logic. heard this at a conference to "portray" among other things how compicated we adults make things sometimes

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?
Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend.... except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.

Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

Have to pass on the another two he told me:

Again, remember kid logic... We overthink.

1. Why did the duck cross the road? A) he was stapled to a chicken.

Apparently in my kid's world chickens cross the road in all cases.

2a. Why do ducks have webbed feet? A) to put out forest fires.
2b. Why do elephants have flat feet? B) to put out burning ducks.
