Last Tuesday, I’m in the kitchen filling up a water bottle, and my 10-year-old walks in and asks, “Dad, how heavy is that?” I look at the bottle – says one liter on it – and I’m like, “Uh… a liter?” He gives me this look. “That’s not a weight, that’s how much it holds.” … Read more
You know what’s weird? I’ve been playing baseball since I was eight years old, and I never actually thought about the weight of a baseball until my nephew asked me last week. He just grabbed one from my garage and said, “Uncle, this feels heavy. How much does this thing weigh anyway?” And honestly? I … Read more
Last month, my neighbor’s kid asked me how much is 700,000 pennies after his grandfather left him a massive collection. The kid thought he’d hit the jackpot. What followed was a weekend of counting, sorting, and learning way more about pennies than either of us wanted to know. How Much Is 700,000 Pennies Worth? Let’s … Read more
Last Tuesday I’m in my kitchen staring at a recipe that says “16 oz chicken broth” and I’m holding this can wondering if this is it or not. Spent like five minutes googling on my phone. Turns out most people have no idea how much is 16 oz actually is, and honestly? Nobody teaches us … Read more
Someone mentions 10 inches and your brain just goes blank, right? You’re standing there nodding like you totally get it, but inside you’re thinking “okay but HOW big though?” Been there. Done that.

You’re standing in the hardware store, staring at screws. The package says “3 inches” but your brain just goes blank. Or maybe you’re scrolling through Amazon at 2 AM, looking at a decorative thing for your shelf, and the description mentions it’s 3 inches wide. Cool. But what does that even mean? I’ve been in … Read more
So my buddy texted me last week asking if a 4-inch pot would fit on his windowsill. I sent back “yeah probably” without thinking much about it. Turns out his windowsill is only 3 inches deep. The pot didn’t fit. He was mad. I felt dumb. That whole situation made me realize something – most … Read more
Ever found yourself staring at a recipe that calls for 100 grams of something and your kitchen scale is dead? Or maybe you’ve never owned one to begin with. Don’t worry – you’re not alone. Last Tuesday I was making brownies and my scale battery died right when I needed to measure chocolate. That’s when … Read more
So last month I’m standing in Target, staring at storage bins, trying to figure out if they’ll fit under my bed. No tape measure. No ruler. Just me and my questionable judgment. That’s when I realized something – I had no clue what how long is 6 inches actually looked like in real life. Sure, … Read more
I’ll never forget the time I bought a shelf online. Listed as “compact 8-inch design” – sounded perfect for my bathroom. When the package arrived, I ripped it open expecting something decent-sized. What I got? This tiny thing that barely held three bottles. That’s when it hit me: I had absolutely zero concept of what … Read more
