June 20th
Why is it that the state will allow you to buy food on them and yet won't help you see a doctor?
Why is it that if two families are living together that aren't "kin" can't be considered a separate family?
Why is it that when you are in a hurry, no matter what road you travel, there is construction or weird road conditions that haven't happened in 30 years, or an accident--nobody's hurt, just gawkers?
Why is it when you run into a grocery store, you always end up with three more items than the quick lane "allows"? Do you put the three things back so you can use the quick lane, telling yourself, "I don't need these three things..."? Did you save the time only to get home and realize that you are REALLY out of toilet paper and you DON'T have another roll in the cabinet like you thought? Then you run back to the store just for the TP and get to the "quicky" line and there's ten people there, each putting three items back onto the shelf next to the aisle...
Why does the earth become a gigantic magnifier in the summer? Check out the moon tonight at moonrise, it looks HUGE!
What is the actual mathmatical theory that says, no matter how well the kids have been getting along, if you put them in the car going somewhere for more than 15 minutes, they will incite and irritate each other exponentionally greater the smaller the vehicle is? Next time I am just going to hand them sticks, at least I can physically see who is poking who, then.
Why is it when you WANT rain, it pretends it's gonna rain for three weeks but never actually does?
What exactly do they do in school that keeps them occupied but not bored, so that the first full day of summer all you hear is, "I'm bored, there's NOTHING to do...?" But the entire school year all you hear is, "I wish it was summer..."?
Happy thinking.
More later!
