The floor can because of gravity.
What's gravity?
It is what causes everything to fall down.
Why does it do that?
Because everything weighs something, and the more something weighs, the more it causes other things to be drawn towards it.
Why does that happen?
It's the way the universe is made. If it weren't for that, the world wouldn't exist.
Why wouldn't the world exist without gravity?
Because without gravity, nothing would stick together.
What is nothing?
Nothing is what you see when you close your eyes, but you're not there to look at it.
Side note, i'm honestly looking forward to having kids. I cannot wait to have an inquisitive child asking me questions that I could have never thought of myself.
MY MOMMY SAID THE FLOOR MAKES FAT PEOPLE STICK TOGETHER!!
What you'll discover is that there is often a very weird something behind the question. It is often as important to understand what that thing is as it is to answer the questions. The problem is that you can't directly ask that lest they shut down.
The problem is that a question like, "how can the floor" might be related in the kiddos mind to something as seemingly unrelated as "why did we eat hamburgers last week?" and if you go down the wrong path, suddenly your kid has a link between hamburgers and orbital motion that doesn't necessarily link up in any real logical way.
My approach is not to just answer questions, but to help them think through their questions and how they might answer them. No clue if that works.
Mine is just starting to say a couple words and I’m quite excited for these conversations.
