Explaining things

A 12 year old boy asked me if could explain the difference between ignorance and apathy. I said to him “I don’t know and I don’t care”. He seemed disappointed. Later that afternoon, he returned full of smiles; he said “thank you, I got it”.

HUMPTY TRUMPTY

Humpty Trumpty wanted a wall

Humpty Trumpty had a great fall

All the Would-be King’s horses

And all the Would-be King’s men

Could not put Humpty Trumpty together again
