"Curiouser and curiouser" ~ A phrase from Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland books.

Another familiar phrase, "sometimes I have believed as many as six imposible things before breakfast," endures and enters into our everyday use."

Personally, I relate to poor Alice's bizarre experiences ~ in her case, falling down a rabbit hole, passing through a mirror, shrinking, expanding, showing up in the most absurd surroundings among characters that seem surreal. Unexpected, unpredictable change!

What is normal? What is ordinary?

Lewis Caroll (1832 - 1898) English author, mathematician. Best known for his literary nonsense.
