I Wonder Why?

observations

cat-and-mouse1I wonder why sheep are in flocks and all other flocks are birds?

I wonder why two cats from the same litter have such different personalities.

I wonder why more people don’t agree that I’m right, since I certainly am and any logical person should be able to see that.

I wonder why evolution made some animals carnivores and others not.  Can’t we all just get along?

I wonder why I feel young inside but look old outside?

I wonder why my husband can’t read my mind?  I can read his, even though he disagrees with what I conclude he thinks. He’s wrong.

I wonder why I never have happy dreams? They are always frustrating or frightening, though seldom terrifying.

I wonder if people in ancient times thought they were living in the most modern times of history?

I wonder why basketball players think they look sexy wearing culots, which are just skirts after all?

I wonder why people on Madison Avenue think their ads would convince me to buy their product? They don’t, just the opposite.

I wonder still how how electricity works and how engines make my car work?  I only wonder, I find learning about those things boring.

I wonder why some animals can be tamed and not others? What do they have in common?

I wonder why rich people really think they are better than others? They do, and they aren’t, just luckier for the most part.

I wonder how hibernation got started? Or regeneration of limbs? They are both useful for everybody, yet only a few creatures got those abilities.

I wonder what it must feel like to spend your entire working life making marbles or toothpicks or plastic spoons, or pushpins? I bet their kids never want them to come to career day!

I wonder why we haven’t yet concluded that it would be best if we all spoke the same language?

I wonder why some fruits have pits and others have seeds?

What do you wonder about?
