So Heisenberg and Schrodinger are driving along when they get pulled over by a traffic officer.
The officer says "Do you know you were going 120 kph!!?".
Heisenberg says "I didn't, and knew where we were, but now we're lost! Thanks for nothing!"
Surprised at this rebuke, the officer says "OK, you'd better open the trunk". He goes to the back of the car and says "Hey, there's a dead cat in here!"
Schrodinger replies "Oh sure, now it's dead!"

This stuff gives me a headache...
True story... I have a niece (in law) with 2 sets of twin girls.
My nephew passed away 6 years ago unexpectedly. I stay close with the girls...
They live in TX, we are in CA.
The younger ones (just turned 13 in July) are avid readers and gifted smart.
We discuss college; we walked them through the Stanford campus over the summer during their visit.
Afterwards, we were talking science; they like life sciences while I am more physics interested.
Little Lucy was thinking hard, and said, "Who's Schrodinger's cat?"
I almost fell down. "Where did you hear about that? You are 13 years old!"
She said, "Well I was reading and I got to this but I don't know what it is."
Lucy sounds great! Good on you for filling some of that fathering role. See if she gets this one:
Two atoms are walking along. One says "Darn, I just lost an electron!" The second atom says "Are you sure?" The first atom replies "Yep, I'm positive!"
