| NOTE |
you'll note i didn't bother asking a second why. i'm seasoned enough to know two things:
- that my boys, for reasons i don't fully understand because i was never this kind of boy, love throwing things out of their second story bedroom window onto the porch and front yard. i mean this can go on for hours. i kinda get some of the things. dropping water balloons on each other form a distance, sure. releasing your parachute men from a higher distance, of course. or bouncy balls, absolutley. but many of the other, more pedestrian things, like their sister's underwear, are a bit of a puzzle to me.
- i've learned knowing the answer to all questions in life isn't the key to fulfillment. a dash of illusion and delusion in your world adds to the experience.
