ELI5: Why is water wet? (actually been asked this by a 5 year old today).
gpt
Water,loves physical contact. When water is nearby a surface, tiny bits of it cling to that surface. Think of it like how you rub a balloon on your head then stick it to a wall. Water is like billions of tiny balloons, like a little ball pit. Imagine if all the balls in the ball pit were like the balloon, and the balls stuck all over you when you got out.

Not all liquids are as thick or sticky as water. That is why water is so wet, because the little particles like to stick to things. Some things like skin, clothes and towels have lots of little bumps and cracks for water to get into, so it does!
