10 Things I Don't Understand: Vol. I

1. How there is a constant piling up of dishes in the sink, after just having been done, even though we haven't been home for most of the day. Unbelievable.

2. Why Dora would rather munch on crayons than a grilled cheese sandwich. (Although, I do wish I had her appetite. I wouldn't have to worry about literally trying to run my *ss off 3 times a week).

3. How some people think that by driving 5 inches behind you, they're getting to their destination quicker, and/or proving a point.

4. Why food that tastes SO good, is SO bad for you. Sucks.

5. Why babies have to deal with so much more physical pain than adults do. (When does this teething crap end?!)

6. Why bad things happen to good people. I'll never understand it.

7. Why there is yet another Walgreen's, yet another dental office, and yet another fast cash place opening up next to us when there are already 10 other of the same within a 3 mile radius of us and each other.

8. Dogs don't live longer than us.

9. Where the "other sock" always goes.

10. Why celebrities continue to get botox, collagen, silicon, battery acid, laundry detergent and whatever else pumped into their faces, having already witnessed fellow comrades who have gone down the same path, starting to resemble strange mutated version of humans from on another planet.

Yay! I love being first! Anyway, this post is hilarious! I want to know the answers to those questions and more. Like:

1. When will the laundry be "done"? It. Never. Frickin'. ENDS!

2. Where does my money go? Um, I don't remember spending that much!

3. Why do my kids make such HUGE messes and not understand that they have to clean up after themselves?

There are more, but that's all I'll comment with, lol. Have a great day!

RE: #9...Do you remember Sniglets?
Rich Hall called the place that other socks go, the "Hozone," and I never understood it...Now I think it's a play on "hose?" Like, pantyhose? I don't know.
What do you think?
I'd really like this question answered.

Too funny. Maybe our "other socks" are off meeting somewhere. Ha!

Corinne: I was going to put laundry in there! Love the money one - good one. My kid hasn't reached the being accountable of her mess stage yet - not looking forward to that one for sure.

Angel: Thank you!

Deb: Never heard of Sniglets or Hozone. I'll have to look into it.

Wifey: Sounds like something off of Noggin! Boy do I miss regular TV.

Let us know if you figure out any of the answers - I sure don't have them.

Too funny! Why is it that every toddler on Earth LOVES to nibble on crayons!!??! They must be delicious o_O

moz: I doubt I'll ever figure out the answers. If I do - I'll be the 1st to let the world know!

Bekkah: maybe we should try them - could be a total bonding thing with the kids.

Why do men take off their clothes and just drop them? I don't get that.
Why can't you get out of Target for less than $100 and what did we do before Target?
Ditto on the socks and laundry.
Don't understand any of it.
