That's how my mother's gestures, expressions, and threats became part of me, espcially when I must deal with uncooperative offspring. (I only recently really thought about Kingdom Come after using it to colorfully express my displeasure to 8-year-old boy. Not the physical place I assumed in childhood.) Of course osmosis works!

Awesome! Also awesome is the way you detailed the explanation of osmosis first to your readers in the first paragraph (total science dork here, meaning I have very little understanding or knowledge of actual science) and then to your kid (the explanation this 39-year-old understood best cough, cough). Now can you explain to me why enzymes are present when hydrogen peroxide bubbles. And what exactly does that mean? That enzymes are present? I love the use of “osmosize” as a verb! Awesome!

Although, strictly speaking, osmosis is a term only used for the diffusion of water through a membrane. I know, I'm a geek. Sorry. You can bet your son will never forget what osmosis means though.
