Questions That Haunt Me!
➢ Can you cry under water?

➢ Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
➢ Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
➢ Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are going dead?
➢ Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is already not enough money?

Fondly,
Father Nicholas
