[lojban] babies: "you might as well sleep"

[Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org>]

(please not, I am, as previously mentioned, *not* looking for a
translation of the English idiom, but rather idiomatic Lojban with
the same semantics)

The sentence I was trying for was something like "You know, you're
looking around all interested in stuff, but you don't actually
understand anything, so you might as well just sleep".  The first
bit was something like {za'a do jundi .i ku'i do jimpe no da .i se
ki'u bo ...}, and I get stuck on that last bit.  I'm having trouble
nailing down what I intend to mean semantically, basically; that
sentiment is encoded in my mind as that exact English phrase, a
problem I have on occassion.
