Now that I am grown up, more or less, it seems I still have questions. For instance, why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’ but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts’? Why aren’t thoughts worth two cents too?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box? Why is it desirable to “sleep like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?
