Silly Question Just For Fun

Ken and I started something that a lot of people will think is weird.  We have come up with a silly, or stupid, question and then called all our kids and conducted a survey of their opinion.  It has generated some good fun and made a few stop and thinnk.

Here's the first one.  You've heard that Jack and Jill went up the hill and all that.  And they fell down.  Well, Jack broke his crown. 

Ken asked, if Jack wore a crown, did that mean Jill wore a tiara?  Well, I told him no, the crown he broke was his head.

Needless to say the question he asked was if the crown was the kind worn by royalty, or if is was Jack's head.

What do you think?

I have spent way to much time reading on Gather today, and don't have the energy to muster an opinion. I would like to share that this is also a tradition in my family. My oldest son calls me at least three times a week to ask me silly questions......it gives him a reason to talk to his mom just because.

Maybe they were really playing King of the Hill, and it was a crown of his own making (you know kids!). I bet that was what it was.

It was jJack's head, of course.

I do believe in this case "crown" means his head.
I think it was his head too, but keep these coming! :) This is fun!

He could have had a crown on his head and broke both.

The big question is, what effect did Jack breaking his crown have on his future behavior ?
Did he suffer from amnesia ? Did he suffer a personality disorder ? How was his life with Jill post-tumble ? Enquiring minds need to know.

I do love all your comments. I will reveal how our family vote went, and the complete poem shortly. I just want to see if we get a few more comments on this first.

The answer will be surprising. I'll post it so you all see it.

Humm, never thought of it that way.

I'm gonna go with saying it was his head.
