Violet and Charlie Brown are sitting on the curb. She asks, "What are you going to be when you grow up, Charlie Brown?"<br> <br> He replies, "I haven't the slightest idea...can a person tear aside the veil of the future? Can any of us know what lies ahead?"<br> <br> She grimaces as he expresses, "Is it possible to say what is going to happen a week, a day, or even five minutes from now?"<br> <br> He continues, "Can a person really know just what..." She shouts angrily, "FORGET THE WHOLE THING!!"<br> <br>
