WHICH IS IT?

The needle in the haystack, I mean. Is the proverbial needle a pine needle or a sewing needle? I never knew. And wouldn't the pine needle be even harder to find?

I wonder why I wonder why things are what they are? Like trying to shake your head no and say yes. It's hard to do. Like putting on your left shoe first when normally the right one goes on first. Again, it's not all that easy.

And if you were able to conquer the other tasks pretty easily, then try putting your leg into the left pant before your right. See if you won't have to lean on something to do that. Or next time when you back your car out in reverse, look over your left shoulder instead of your right. On second thought, don't try that one. It might be costly.

Or try what our youngest grandson wanted me to try when he was 3 and I was driving down the road. "Close your eyes, GDaddy," he suggested. His older brother, age 5, replied, "If you do, you will be the worst grandfather that ever lived." I deferred to the older one.

One more note on the needles. According to the title of one of my favorite poetry books, Some Haystacks Don't Even Have Any Needles.
