      Hmm (let me think about it)....

      may be, I mean, in a way, I guess...
      At least Humpty Dumpty wasn’t meant to be eaten or was he? Imagine that egg in the countertop waiting to be eaten, but instead of being eaten, the egg falls off the countertop. Which is better? To be cracked by someone else or to be cracked because someone else didn’t catch you in time when you were falling or to just be cracked due to falling on your own? Or does it hurt the same? Either way, one egg ends up eaten and the other ends up in the trash to rotten per se. To be eaten or not to be eaten?

      Do you know the story behind humpty-dumpty? Did you know loong time ago, a short person whose clumsy is called humpty-dumpty? Now humpty-dumpty somehow became an egg!!

      I think falling on my own and breaking is the least hurtful, and falling and not being caught on time is the most. So did it hurt?
