Dogs Don't Know No Good English

Okay, so I found myself thinking I knew the answers.  So shoot me.  Every once in a while, I think I know what's the problem.  Then I stop, think again, and then I really know what's the problem.  The problem is, of course, that I don't know the answer at all.  I may have an idea or some insight, but, alas, I don't know what is the problem.  What you say?  What's the problem?  The answer is what's the problem.  And the problem is not knowing.

So there you have it.  Somewhere in the above are prepostions that want to be where they fall naturally.   I want to say, "I know what the problem is," but I have been trained not to end a sentence in a preposition.  But when I say "I know what's the problem," it just doesn't feel natural.  That is not the way in which we speak.  Actually, a more natural, converstional way of saying that is, "That's not how we talk."

So it hits me.

Yes, I know what is the problem.  The problem is, trying to put on the dog.  The dog will not be put on.  The dog just wants to know if he gonna get his dinner or a pat on the head or go for a ride in the car with the window down and his head hanging out.  No, unnatural speech patterns will not impress the dog...or anyone else.

So now do you see?  You you grasp the nature of the problem?   The problem is thinking there is a problem when there is none, fixing a problem in an unnatural way and/or knowing the difference.  The problem really is not trusting your intuitive self.  You know what it is.  You know how to say something and how to be true to yourself.  And that is what's the problem.
