May I discuss some questions that have been puzzling me, that I would like to have answers to? They are not " world shattering"...hmmm....it would be a BIG problem if they did cause the world to shatter and split in half! I wonder if the split would be a nice even one right through the middle of the equator, dividing off the Northern and Southern Hemispheres? Or would there be a split the other way, and the eastern states of Australia would be split from the Western and Southern Australia?  We would then have to stand on the border, hold up a flag, and wave to everyone over the other side! It would be awful if you were just about to post a letter in a mail box, then the world split in two, and the mail box was on one side of the rift, and you were left with holding the letter on the other side! And...what would happen if you had just ordered your fish and chips at  the fish and chippery shop, and whilst waiting for your number to be called up, the world split between you and the counter! The staff would be loudly calling your order number to collect your order, but you wouldn't be able to collect it! It would go sooooo cold! Cold chips don't taste too nice! I suppose cold potato cakes may taste better than cold chips? I don't really know! And....on top of all that, you wouldn't be able to catch up on the latest news by reading the newspaper that the fish and chips come in! The " up side" of it happening though, is that you wouldn't need to try to get sauce out of the little containers that come with the fish and chips! Freida the fish eating teddy had a not so nice experience with a sauce packet! She tried to open one up, it squirted into her bead eyes, and for ever since she has had sore red eyes! She was not very happy when that happened! 

   Anyway, what I am going to ask you isn't going to shatter any world, I don't think? Well, I am going to ask anyway! Why are " cherry ripes" ripe? People wouldn't want to eat them if they were sour and not ready to eat! How  can you tell that they are ripe? It is not like a green tomato that turns orange and red! Hmm...tomato ripe chocolate bar has a nice sound to it! We would have to be extra careful though if we were growing tomato ripe bars in our backyard. The birds would really want to eat them! Also, tomatoes are Summery food so the chocolate may melt on the tomato vines!  

  Also, why is a mars bar from another planet? Why is it not an earth bar? Instead of " Aussie made and grown", we must also stick up for the  Earth, be patriotic and support " Earth labeled" products! Martians from Mars can enjoy eating Mars bars, but us earthlings should have our own Earth bars!

  Well, I had best be off for now. I hope that I haven't  caused any parts of the world to shatter! 

      Until next time, 

          If you have any questions, please ask them, because then you may find out answers !
