Ive got a question
every time it came out of his
mouth he thought of his daughters they primed him
they were curious as cats intelligent relentlessly queried himhis wife until their often exhaustive explanations finally
satisfied them
when they were first
pregnant they decided that when their child had a question they would always encourage them to
ask it if they didnt know the answer theyd learn together
they also agreed at no time
would they ever answer Because or Because I said they endured that as childrenhad been frustrated being dismissed out of
hand and would be damned if they ever Becaused their child
Ive got a question
Certainly.
Its pronounced soitenly
I try to acknowledge The
Three Stooges whenever I can
That’s very unStoogelike, wouldnt
you admit?
No that they went by Stooges didnt mean they were stupid they made Hitlers
kill list for their parody You Nazty Spy which was probably more damning than the fact
they were Jews
I didn’t know that.
Yah Those are my boys
So my question
Ohyes, I forgot you had a
question; although you always seem to have a question.
Family trait Were selective about what ignorances we
choose thus ignorant not prejudiced although Ive had to listen an contend with arguments refuting that
I'd be tempted to refute you.
Thatd be fine after my
question
Certainly . . er, soitenly.
Thank you for correcting yourself
If I hadn’t, you would have.
Bet your bottom dollar
My
question Why don you just
quietly admire that dude who runs by and not bring him to my attention Hes not interesting

He runs like a deer.

Honestly . . I don’t know if I
can make that promise.
