Things I want to know
How come 'abbreviation' is such a long word?
How come chocolate is addictive, but cabbage isn't? Where is the justice?
How come, most of the time, my printer refuses to print just one sheet without being cajoled to behave itself, but when I ask it to print sixty, it won't stop when I realise I only meant six?
How come I forget what I wanted when I get to the top of the stairs, and then remember at the EXACT moment my foot hits the bottom stair? Why do I never remember on the middle stair?
How come teenagers can't hear the words 'pick up the towel' but can hear the words 'oh, that's more money in my pay packet than I was expecting'?

Mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI want to know:
Why two dogs and one cat can all go outdoors at one time through the same door and return minutes later, individually, at intervals just long enough for me to resume doing anything other than doorwatching.
Each calling for "in" at a separate door.
Why, when I know that Blogger is being snitty, I don't remember to copy my responses before I "post comment" and get the message that "Blogger is sorry, but we can't complete that for you right now."
The Universe is unfolding as it should.
ReplyDeleteOut of order comes chaos!
ReplyDeleteYou've never suffered from cabbage addiction? You've been very lucky.
ReplyDeleteOff and on over the years, addiction to this and other brassicas has turned me into something resembling a brussel sprout. But I'm not complaining.
Now . . forgetting why you went up stairs. Fear not! Stannah Stair Lifts now supply a high-speed model which will whisk you to the top before you've had time to forget.
I love cabbage...but am not as green a cabbage looking...
ReplyDeleteHow about simply "Sod's Law" ?
ReplyDeleteI find that when I expect this law to come into operation, things are less frightening. The onset of Alzheimer's for instance.
