    One year they even had red and green Kleenex for Christmas. A red would come out after a green, and so on. I wonder how they did that, Pig?

    Or what about some electrical box in the kitchen that turns soft white bread to black crunchy bread when it pops out?

    I know some one who honestly felt that the next tissue popping up was proof that God exists. Whether God exists or not, that was just stupid.Yes, I explained it to him.

    Yet for all this scientific advancement, there are still questions whose answers we may never know, such whether or not the little light goes out when you shut the fridge door.

    Oh dear.. I think when I was a kid, I was Pig….I always wondered about that….And how when you flush the toilet, it uses up all the water in the tank…. but a few moments later you can magically flush it again!And the fire in the stove burner…it goes on and off without a match!But…. when I was about 6. I accidentally discovered a little button in the car door frame that turns out the dome light…and I realised… wow… the door pressed on it when it was closed.So I searched for one in the refrigerator door … and bingo! A different shape but the same function.No one else…. sigh… seemed to find my discovery as significant as I did…. but I was so proud.

    You know, normally I like Pig’s naivete. Then there are times like this where I want Rat to show up with a bat.

    If you run out of tissue too soon it could be anti-climactic.
