Questions for the void

If I'm going to have the skin of a 15-year-old, is it too much to ask for the body of one, too? I don't enjoy looking like I've had the chicken pox when it was really just hormones or stress or too much chocolate. (Ironically, the first two lead to the other.)

Seriously. I trimmed my bangs to cover my entire forehead instead of being swoopy because it was THAT. BAD.


Why does February only have 28 days? 7 months with 31 days, 4 with 30, and 1 with 28. Doesn't make sense to me. It also sucks for bi-monthly paychecks. You wouldn't think it would matter that much, but the extra 4 days totally sucked my pantry and refrigerator dry.


Why does teething give babies diarrhea?


Why did Glee get so bad this season? Why didn't they just stick with what everyone loved?


WHY DOES THE HULK STILL HAVE POTTY "ACCIDENTS?" He is almost 5 and still would rather mess his pants that stop watching TV or playing outside. And it is making me crazy. I remove video/computer game priviledges. I've taken away toys. Candy. I've flicked water in his face. I've swatted his bottom. What more should I do? WHY ISN'T HE POTTY-TRAINED??!??


Who decides when Easter is? The moon? The Pope? The International Calendar Committee? Why can't we just commit to the second Sunday in April? I don't like that it's so late this year. Means Easter candy is out for a LONG time.


Do they put heroin in Cadbury mini eggs? I've checked the label and I don't see it listed as an ingredient, but I'm pretty sure it's in there. The things are dangerously addictive.


What kind of person goes to a movie not knowing a lick about it? I guess I don't need the void to answer that question. I know the answer: THIS KIND. (I'm pointing to myself.) Superman and I went to "Sucker Punch" on a friend's recommendation. (The friend babysat for free so we could go and we're not going to turn that kind of offer down. ) All I'll say is that I feel like I actually was sucker punched after seeing the movie. I think I'm going to talk about it more at Blog The Day Away.


And my last question: When are botanists going to come up with a money tree? 'Cuz I would like to buy one.

Totally with you on the heroin in the cadbury mini's.
I have exercised amazing self restraint and NOT BOUGHTEN any yet, but serio - with Easter still so far away? I don't know if I can hold strong!

Charms said...

LOL!!! I can't decide whether to comment or just call u back. Think I'll take the easy way out...

Julie said...

I'm with you when you're ready to go find that money tree. I'm pretty good with a compass.

Yup, the body SHOULD come with the skin. So unjust! I'm a bangs girl myself.

What IS up with February? Someone always gets the short end of the stick. Does it always have to be February?

Easter is always the first Sunday after or on the first full moon, after the Spring Equinox....whatever that is : )

I think I'm the only person that doesn't eat Cadbury Eggs. I think they're nasty.

Yeah, I'm with you on the skin thing. Today I'm rocking the cold sore under the nose (who gets those, anyway?!) and the monster zit right next to it. There wasn't anything I could do. I just put on a hat and called it good.

I've long had a theory about February- it's the shortest month because it's the most dark and dreary and miserable, and if we had to have three more days of February, I think the overall homicaide rate would increase. Just kidding. Maybe.

Potty training is the worst. I figure as long as my son is out of diapers by the time he goes into kindergarten, we're good.

And Glee is bad this season. Boo.

And this is the longest comment ever.

Why can't two months with 31 days just have each have one less and give two to February so it can have 30 also? AND I don't advise seeing Rango. Especially not for the kids, but even you and Superman. We hated it.

the fowlers said...

it could be worse - we could still determine easter based on the hebrew calendar which is more messed up than ours - seriously! instead of leap day, every once in a while they have a leap MONTH. yeah. uh, what would you do with that?

and glee is bad.

and so far i've only eaten . . . two bags of cadbury mini eggs? but seeing as i bought the first one back in february at my daughter's birthday, i'm doing pretty well, right?

I love all of your questions, and I wish I had answers for any of them.

(Although yes, I'm pretty sure some sort of drug is definitely in Cadbury mini eggs.)

Emily said...

I agree. I loved Glee's first season, but BOO to the second season. It's like they're deliberately trying to degrade morals, and the music is not nearly as fun.

I love the original Cadbury eggs. I mean, I like the mini ones, too, but the original ones are my Easter vice of choice.

(I haven't been around for a while-- Good to see you again.) :)

I really love your new theme. Super cute.

As for potty training, it's "OK" for them to have problems until they are around 11. At least that's what the doc told me. Not comforting but at least I know there's nothing wrong with my kid. It's not fun though. I feel for you.

Glee and I parted ways a while back. Dangit. The music was sooooo good. Why did they have to ruin a perfectly good thing? Grr.
