today a friend gave me a ride home from visiting a mutual friend's new baby. in the car she told the story of how she and one other sister managed to graduate from college while her other 7 siblings did not. the amazing thing was that, as she told it, her own daughter in the backseeat kept piping up to say "why didn't you ever tell me this before?" she would stop and then say, "i never thought about it... i never stopped to wonder why."
as a little kid sometimes i'd ask people how they got their names and often they would say they didn't know; they never thought to ask.
sometimes i wonder at the meaning of something all day long... it follows me. "why?" is a big part of how i relate to people, myself, and the world. funny hunh?
