To be or not to be? That is the question.

When I get bored and I allow my mind to wonder it immediately fills up with questions.  Questions about life, people, animals, and mostly why things are the way they are.  I've always been like this ever since I was a little girl.  Some might call me nosey but I call it curious. I would spend hours during the summer taking things apart in my mother's house just because I wondered, "How does this thing work?"

So I began to think the other day about how powerful the question mark is.  Think about it. It's probably the most powerful punctuation mark there is. Think of the many marketing campaigns and historical events that have been surrounded around questions...

• Where's the beef?
  
• What Would Jesus Do? (if you think this wasn't a marketing ploy you are wrong)
• Mr. President did you have sex with that woman?
• What came first, the chicken or the egg?
• Does this make my butt look big?

And a few less famous questions I ask myself on a daily basis.

• What made me think this looked good on me?
• What's up with Amy McRee's face?
• How can I make money doing nothing? (besides being a politician)
• Does my dog really have to lick my face every other minute in the morning? Yes I hear the alarm!
• Why do people ALWAYS let their children run wild in Wal-Mart?

As children we are naturally inquisitive.  Anyone who has spent more than five minutes with a toddler knows that their conversations consist of mainly questions. Why is the sky blue? Who invented people? Where do pop tarts come from? Why can't I eat my buggers? Why don't girls have weenises? (that one is for my boy Bo)  There's even a game show where you can only answer with questions. (Jeopardy)

Think about how the world would be if people stopped asking questions?  I think this quote answers that..."There are no foolish questions and no one becomes a fool until they stop asking questions."

I will leave you with some of my personal favorite questions.  Most I can't take credit for. Please feel free to respond with your own favorite questions. Like, Why did I waste 2 minutes of my life reading this blog?
