Will, Quicksand, and Grasshoppers

In the car line again with Will.

As we're discussing how the extremely muddy area that has now dried up on the school grounds, Will spots a grasshopper outside the window in the grass.

Will: Dad, could you walk across quicksand and not sink?
Me: No Will. You'll sink.
Will: What about a grasshopper? Would it sink too?
Me: No Will. Probably not. Grasshoppers aren't heavy enough to sink.
Will: Well, if I saw one on quicksand, I'd put a brick on it. If people sink, grasshoppers should too.
