curiosity | The 3rd Flamingo

Amazing whale photo by Elianne Dipp "Do you think whales get itches? And if so, how would a whale scratch one?" These are the kinds of questions that pop up at my house. Sometimes Matt joins me in the “if this, then that” game. Other times, I can feel him roll his eyes, reluctantly playing along. And occasionally, I sense him silently begging me to move on and give him a little peace. You might also wonder where in the world these questions come from. I do not really know that either. But the world is endless in things we do not know, and I am always curious about the how and why. Sometimes the questions themselves are just as fun as the answers or at least the guesses.
