Will Work for Food...Curious???

Curiosity killed the cat. Is that a fair statement? Curiosity in and of itself is a good thing. We cannot learn anything without it. It's what we do with our curiosity that matters. So, say the cat wanted to know why the other cats didn't like her. Sitting around wondering wasn't getting her anywhere. So, out of curiosity, she leaves the safety of her home and tries to find other cats to play with. She discovers that there are other cats out there that really like her and she has lots of fun with these other cats. She was positively affected by her curiosity. I don't know about you, but I think curiosity is the cat's salvation. So eventually the cat dies from a curiosity related incident but the cat had nine lives worth of fun before the dreaded curiosity finally got her.

Eddie and I were leaving Sam's (I know - shocking!!) today and as we drove past the corner there was a man standing with a sign on him that said 'will work for food'. I said to Eddie "Look, that man will work for food, maybe you should have given him your pizza instead of taking two bites and then refusing to eat anymore". "Why would he want my pizza"? she said. "Some people don't have enough money for food and they need to ask other people for help" I replied. She continued, "I'd give someone my pizza but it would have to be a girl". I smiled and said, "There are lots of girls who need food too". She asked, "Well ,why can't they just go to the bank and get money"? I explained to her that banks don't give people money, they hold people's money until they need it. You still have to work in order to make the money you would put in the bank. Some people have lost their jobs and can't make enough money to support their families. So, she says, "That guy on the corner, did he make up his own job"? "Well, if you can call standing on the street corner holding a sign that says 'will work for food' a job, then yes, I guess he did" I retorted. Quick as a whip she says, "Well, then he is his own boss and he should give himself a raise".
