Potential energy is like the energy your cat has when it's perched on a shelf, and kinetic energy is what it has when it's leaping off to chase a laser pointer.
Kinetic energy = moving; potential energy = waiting to move.
Potential energy's what you have before you get off the couch; kinetic energy's what you use to grab the remote.
