things I've been wondering
why don't cinderella's stepsisters and stepmother like her? ~ was it partly cinderella's fault that they didn't like her because she tried on their necklaces? ~ when we go to Canada, can I bake cookies with Gramma every day? ~ why do dogs want to get close to me? ~ why do some flowers fall apart easily? ~ why did my rose get dry and die when I left it on the coffetable for three days? ~ why don't my parents stop talking to each other and just listen to ME and to what I have to say? ~ how does a telescope work? ~ why can't I touch the telescope at the camera store? ~ what is 'optics'? ~ why are the movies we watch in chinese class so scary? ~ was it Mr. Incredible's fault that Incrediboy grew up to become evil Syndrome? ~ why is there a cycle of life? ~ why does my mother think I can't run away from home? I told her that I was going to run away from home because I don't want to follow her rules. She told me that I would have a hard life if I ran away from home. She asked me how I would live. I told her I'd just go find another house and buy it. She asked how I'd get the money to buy it. I told her I'd steal the money. She laughed. ~ why does my mother laugh when I explain serious issues to her?
