CURIOSITY
Curiosity was born asking
questions. How do bees make honey? Why is the sky blue? Does a dog have an
allowance? Where did plaid come from? Do Chinese people go out for Jewish food
on Chinese New Years? Are people different colors because of what they eat? “You
never know unless you ask,” was her motto.
In science class, she discovered
what onionskin looks like under the microscope. She also found out what happens
when you put a Mentos candy in a bottle of Diet Coke. Through trial and error, she found out that
soy sauce doesn’t taste good in spaghetti sauce, but bacon in anything makes it
more delicious.
She snooped into her sister Prudence’s
diary, who presented herself as a saint, but had the soul of a sinner. She
broke into her brother Inquisitive’s bedroom and found out what was on those
blank VCR tapes. Treasures were always to be found in the back corner of
closets. She was chastised for being nosy, but sometimes she could justify
invading people’s privacy- like the time she broke into her roommate’s bedroom,
found the roommate passed out and called 911.
Alcohol was Curiosity’s vice and it
made her even more uninhibited. She drunkenly hooked up with Ignorance because
he was a brooding loner and she liked feeling a little dangerous. They had a brief
tumultuous relationship that ended when she hacked his email and discovered
Ignorance was having an affair with Politeness.
Curiosity got into trouble and
sometimes found answers that she didn’t like, but she never regretted trying to
find out. Contrary to popular belief, Curiosity never killed a cat. However,
she did booby trap the scratch post with a piece of tuna as bait just to see
what the cats would do.
