"All that goes up must come down."
A little nonplused, (because, seriously, they're teaching the Universal Law of Gravitation in kindergarten but on the reading front, she's still learning what a "W" sounds like?) I said, "Did you learn that from your teacher?"

Like you, I learned a lot of grammar rules on tv.
Good for her!
