What’s Inside?
By:Ashley Fultz
What's in the Sack
What's in the sack? What's in the sack?
Is it some mushrooms or is it the moon?
Is it love letters or downy goosefeathers?
Or maybe the world's most enormous balloon?
What's in the sack? That's all they ask me.
Could it be popcorn or marbles or books?
Is it two years' worth of your dirt laundry,
Or the biggest ol' meatball that's ever been cooked?
Does anyone ask me, "Hey, when is your birthday?"
"Can you play Monopoly?" "Do you like beans?"
"What is the capital of Yugoslavia?"
Or "Who embroidered that rose on your jeans?"
No, what's in the sack? That's all they care about.
Is it a rock or a rolled-up giraffe?
Is it pickles or nickels or busted bicycles?
And if we guess it, will you give us half?
Do they ask where I've been, or how long I'll be stayin',
Where I'll be goin', or when I'll be back,
Or "How do?" or "What's new?" or "Hey, why are you blue?"
No, all they keep asking is, "What's in the sack?"
"What's in the sack?" I'm blowin' my stack
At the next one who asks me, "What's in the sack?"
What?
Oh no. Not you, too!
Well... psychologists have a name for this curious habit. It is called Perceptual Curioisty and it happens to be quite normal. Psychologists say being nosey is a basic element of your brain function. Dr. Daniel Berlyne says, “it’s completely normal for organisms to seek out novel stimuli.”
Those are just fancy words saying that its normal to be boisterous. If you ever wonder what’s inside of a sack, or what’s for lunch, or what the temperature is outside, or who your friend is talking to on the phone, that’s fine. Listen its fine to be nosey because I am always wanting to know what’s inside of those things that you smash in the winter to keep your hands warm, and what’s inside that blue crate that sits on Mr. Kimmel’s desk, or what’s inside that room where the naughty kids sit, or what’s inside those lava lamps. Well...... you see I’m nosey, I guess. I want to know what’s inside of anything. So guess what I did? I FOUND OUT!!!!
Hot Hands
These hot hands where created by a Japanese inventor, Nilchi Matoba in 1923. They can take away pains anywhere but not in a good way. These things can harm your hands. It can poison you if you bust it open. They will put holes in your hands. Don’t give it to your pets. It will do the same to those cute cuddly creatures. After your skin grows back it leaves scars. Do you want that to happen to you?
The hand warmers can heat up to 120 degrees. That’s way to hot for your hands or skin. Always let them warm up before you put them on your skin or hands. Over 235 people have died from it putting holes in their hands. Have you ever wondered what’s inside those things that sit on your desk. They have big bubbly bubbles that float around inside water that changes colors. What am I talking about?
Lava Lamps
Have I not blown your mind yet? Then what is inside black stuff that you put on your body? Do you wear it everyday? What about the stuff that you put on your eyes? What is it? Mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow darker? Well let’s find out!
Big Bulky Lashes
Speaking of nosey, remember it is better to know some of the questions than all the answers!
