Things I Don't Understand

1. clothes for dogs
2. why kids hate naps
3. the Direct TV commercial with the miniature giraffe on a treadmill
4. Why people eat Twinkies...and what possessed someone to deep fry one!
5. how 3 kids can ransack a room faster than I can boil a pot of spaghetti on the stove, but then when I make them clean it up, no one is responsible. They don't know HOW the mess got there.
6. the humor of 7 year old boys
7. the humor of 38 year boys
8. why I'm the only person in the house capable of finding matching shoes, glasses, backpacks, blankies, etc. And I REALLY don't understand how when I tell someone exactly where to look for said item, they can still miss it, claim it's not there, and then I find it in that exact location
9. why passing gas is so dang hilarious to all boys
10. why our dog will target me when she has separation anxiety. Why does she pull MY unmentionables out of my drawer and chew the heels of MY dress shoes even though my shoes are always put away neatly, and she could easily chew her way through SEVERAL pairs of everyone else's before she even gets to the closet where mine are?!
11. How the house can be completely calm, but the instant I put a phone up to my ear, all you-know-what breaks loose
12. what I want to be when I grow up
13. why sales people at high end retailers are so snooty. Don't they work on commission? Show me some Pretty Woman love, or it's big mistake for you!
14. How the almighty God loves me even though I am a mess. I mean, I love my kids, but they're cute and funny and sweet. GOD has SO many cuter, sweeter, funnier people to choose from, and He still chooses me.
15. Why there's no water-proof smart phone. Not so smart after all
16. people who don't hold the door for the mom pushing a stroller. Some people will just let it shut right in front of her or stand behind her and wait for her to struggle to open it and hold it for them!
17. Why my house is still a mess at the end of every day even when I spend the majority of each day cleaning said house.
18. iced coffee
feel free to add to the list. There's plenty more that I don't understand, but you know, this is a start
