The First Thing You Know

Here’s something just for fun. In my last post I shared an online conversation I had with a man in our church. Well, here is an online conversation I had with the wife of my cousin, and his consequent input. Nothing profound here, just fun…

Melissa:
had a really great question to ask, but I forgot what it was! :)

There are lots of really big questions: Who is God? What is the meaning of life? But Melissa, here’s one for you: What’s the first thing you know? Think about it and give me an answer. And there is a right answer.

Melissa at 10:46pm April 23
Why do I feel like I am going to have to think really hard abou this? :)

Kenneth Myers at 10:47pm April 23
Yep. Think carefully, deeply. You only get one answer, so it has to count.

At this point Melissa’s husband, Bobby, comes online and asks me for the answer:

10:49pm Bob
So what is the answer I have too many financial numbers banging around my head

10:49pm Kenneth
MAN, I can’t tell you! You’ll tell Melissa.

10:49pm Bob
Promise not to, I keep secrets well
plus she will be up all night thinking about it

10:49pm Kenneth
Well, the first thing you know, ol’ Jed’s a millionaire.

Then, after several seconds delay:

10:50pm Bob
I just spewed Dr. Pepper on the screen

10:50pm Kenneth
I’m laughing out loud at that!!!

10:51pm Bob
I will let her stew for a couple of days, she is probably being metaphysical

10:51pm Kenneth
So funny!!!

10:51pm Bob
I have not laughed that hard in a long time, thanks I owe you

******

My point in all this? Sometimes the most profound questions have really simple answers!
