Unanswered questions aren’t threats: they’re challenges and catalysts. ~ Colin Wright
How can the student who never notices the homework assignments on the board
be the same student who sees the first snowflake and announces it to the entire class?
How can the paper I looked for five times in the pile on my desk
be the same paper that showed up on search number six?
How can the earring that has been missing for a month
be the same earring that turned up in the pocket of my robe?
How can the outfit I put on for work and felt good in the this morning
be the same outfit I was roasting in by the time I got to work?
How can the bell bottoms and peasant shirts I wore in the 70s
be the same styles that are making a comeback 40 years later?
I don’t know how or why, but somehow they just are.

Great post – great questions. I’ve had a few of those. Got a chuckle tho about the bell bottoms. Not repeating that fad tho!

Fabulous and fun set of questions – pure truth, for sure! My favorite is the student who onver notices the homework assignment but sees the first (probably minuscule) snowflake.

Right? I hear you. I sometimes wonder of if I’m on camera. It’s all so complicated.

I have a profound appreciation for irony and paradox. My students and I love raising the kids of questions you have included here. I will be sharing some of them.

Very entertaining and I can definitely relate to the earrings, although mine rarely turn up again and looking for the paper over and over!

I am still searching for a gray pearl earring. 😦

I could definitely connect with searching for a paper and having to do it again and again until I actually find what I am looking for.

Conundrums. I have one more: How can the gentleman who holds the door open for you at the Wawa be the same guy who tries to run you over when you try to get to your car?
