    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

    I was watching my nephew Matthew yesterday. He comes into my room, steps on the bed, gets flat on his back, stares at the TV upside down & asks "SW1 why are we here? What's your favorite cookie? Oreos or Chips A Hoy? & What do you like better the cookie or the creamy center? HA! HA! It made me chuckle. Little ones have a great perspective on things IMHO...

      Sure I have some blank tablet sheets but which side do we draw/write on? Also have you ever wondered which end of the paper is the top or bottom? Wow life decisions that keeps me in suspense!

      This reminds me of when my daughter was only 4. I was driving down the street and watching her in the mirror, in her own little world in the backseat. She was smiling and starring out the window. I asked her "What are you smiling about?"

      She answered ......."candy".

      How awesome is that? To be a child again. That simply thinking about candy could make them so happy.
