Penny For Your Thoughts<\/strong> By: Nancy Whitaker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s 2024, I’m ??? years old, and I still have so many unanswered questions!!!! I haven\u2019t found out who let the dogs out\u2026 where\u2019s the beef\u2026 how to get to Sesame Street\u2026 why Dora doesn\u2019t just use Apple Maps\u2026 Why do all colors of Fruit Loops taste exactly the same, or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop\u2026 why eggs are packaged in a flimsy carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that\u2019s tough as nails\u2026 what does the fox say\u2026 why \u201cabbreviated\u201d is such a long word; or why is there a D in \u2018fridge\u2019 but not in refrigerator\u2026 why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons\u2026 why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections\u2026 and, why do you have to \u201cput your two cents in\u201d but it\u2019s only a \u201cpenny for your thoughts\u201d\u2026 (Good one ya know?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where\u2019s that extra penny going to\u2026 why does The Alphabet Song<\/em> and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star<\/em> have the same tune\u2026 why did you just try to sing those two previous songs?\u2026 and just what exactly is Victoria\u2019s Secret? And where IS Waldo?\u2026can you hear me now?\u2026 and do you really think I am this witty?? I actually got this from a friend, who stole it from his brother\u2019s girlfriend\u2019s, uncle\u2019s cousin who lived next door to an old class mate\u2019s mailman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
