I had heard some of these before but not all of them. I wanted to share. (I got these from a weekly newsletter sent out at church)
Ever Wonder Why?

Why does the sun lighten our hair but darken our skin?

Why don’t you ever see the headline “Psychic Wins Lottery?”

Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do “practice?”

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a “broker?”

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called “rush hour?”

Why isn’t there mouse flavored cat food?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestrictible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Why are they called “apartments” when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so fafe, why do they call part of the airport “terminals?”

Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?
It suddenly dawned on me that I sound like a curious 3 year old!! Why, Mommy, Why? At least this time you don’t have to think of the answers!!

Isn’t it ironic that when you are pregnant, your center of gravity changes so that you drop things a lot? It is not easy during the late stages of pregnancy to pick something up. And what about all those bathroom trips? Aren’t you supposed to get more rest when you are pregnant?

As I was thinking about these things, I was struck by an answer. Who knows whether it is the right answer, but it seems worth pondering anyway! Maybe the reason you drop things is so you’ll pick them up! Sound crazy? Everybody that has been in the late stages of pregnancy can tell you that bending over to pick something up is not an option. You kind of have to squat because of your large belly. Supposedly squats are good for pregnant women, yet who would do them by choice? (Well I’m sure some would, but it is so uncomfortable and sometimes painful)! Maybe you drop things to help you practice those healthy squats!! And maybe the bathroom trips are to get you prepared for waking up for night feedings.

There’s my personal logic. It may be a bunch of bologna. If so, don’t tell me. It satisfies me to think there is a good reason for these things!! Even if there weren’t, though, the precious prize you get at the end of it all would be worth it, huh! Okay, never mind!! You can tell me if I’m wrong!! 🙂

I wonder if it is possible to train babies to learn when to sleep and when to awaken while still in the mother’s womb? The other day, the baby was very active, but when I got in the shower, she got still. It made me wonder if you made soothing sounds (running water, vacuum cleaner) when you wanted the baby to settle down to sleep if it would work. Even if it did work, it would not help the baby have his days and nights straight, especially if the baby is born in the middle of the night. I doubt the baby sleeps through the labor process. Oh well!! This entry is probably a bunch of nonsense, but hey, I needed somthing to put in my blog!
