I'm so glad C.K. offered this: "The actual full idiom is, “Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back." I had been thinking about what a stifling maxim this was to lay on us kids back in grade school. I only remembered the first part, too. BTW, I'm reading a lot of "Curious George" books to my grandson, who is most impressed by the colorful balloons George grabs from the balloon man in one of the early books.
Thank you for including me in this series. The questions made me think deeply. Love “hit and fun.”

Such wonderful (and awe-inspiring) responses. ☺️We are blessed that you find both awe *and* goofiness in the world, Carissa. 🤪
