The hardest questions I’ve ever been asked:

Why do you think you’re still here and better people then you are not?

It took him twenty years to break my heart, will it be another 20 before it stops hurting?

Why do burnt marshmallows taste so good?

There is something comforting in knowing there isn’t an answer for everything. It makes me feel better about being so imperfect.

What do cats dream about?

Why are you so weird?

Why do you believe in ghosts?

Sometimes  I think people ask impossible to answer questions because they don’t have the nerve to say, ‘ You’re a jerk and I can’t say it so I’ll make you say it for me.”

Do you think my daughter thought about her son before she hung herself in her backyard?

I remember this one time when I was about eleven years old  someone asked me to explain why Mars was red and I knew the answer and after I gave it, this person sort of sneered and said  ‘ You have an answer for everything, don’t you?”

‘ You have an answer for everything’.

Sometimes I wish that were true.
