Why when people ask you "what three things would you bring with you on a desert island?" no one ever replies, "A BOAT"?
Or... Why do we sing "Rock a bye baby" to lull our little ones to sleep when the song is about putting your baby in a tree and letting the wind crash the cradle to the ground?
OR... How's come people tell you to stay a kid for as long as you can. Yet the moment you do anything childish or immature they tell you to grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good questions. I think it's all part of how we all pretty much lack the most basic common sence, and over analize things. When things are going well we think they're 'too easy' and then we complicate them, by saying things that 'make us look smart'.
lol.

1.) people never say "a boat" because it is not the point of the question. the intent of the question is to see what 3 things are most valuable to you and people are smart enough to figure that out.
2.) We sing rockabye baby because it puts the whiny kids to sleep. Who cares what the words say? its like all those nasty rap songs...the lyrics are retarded but the beat is good.
3.) People are hypocrites. yep. = )

1.)Because the water is infested with killer whales and great white shark's that have'nt had a decent meal in months. 2.)Because mom and dad are there to catch the little one. 3.)Because it's a fine line between being silly and being stupid. merry christmas!! be kind.
