Kid: "Mommy, why is the sky blue?"
Scientist mom: *instantly switches to lecture mode* "Rayleigh scattering! Short wavelengths get scattered way more (proportional to 1/λ⁴). Blue light dominates because it's so short."
Kid: "Oh. So why isn't the sky violet?"
Mom: *brain.exe has stopped working* "Well, because, uh... hmm."
The true scientific flex isn't knowing why the sky is blue—it's explaining why it's not violet despite violet having an even shorter wavelength! (It's actually because of solar spectrum distribution and human eye sensitivity, but watching scientist parents get stumped by follow-up questions is pure comedy gold.)
