There are lots of things that I don't understand, but here is a short list of some of the things that have been crowding my brain this week:
Ten Things I Don't Understand
- Why, after 3 years of doing a paper route, I still have to tell my children every day to pick up their mess.
- How a child can eat 4 candy coated, bite-sized m&m candies (you know--melt in your mouth, not in your hand) and have chocolate stretched from one ear clear to the other.
- Why, after going to the trouble to mop a floor, someone instantly spills something on it. Something very sticky.
- Ditto for the similar thing that happens right after I've cleaned a bathroom toilet--it elicits a "clean-out day" for at least one member of my family. Works better than a laxative.
- Why multiplying two negative numbers equals a positive number.
- Ditto for imaginary numbers. What exactly is "i", anyway?
- Why, even with all of our failings and imperfections, do our children love and trust us implicitly?--Okay, well this starts to wear off a little when they can count their ages in double digits, but 9 give-or-take years of our kids totally believing in us is pretty good.
- Why a seemingly normal pregnancy just ends at six months with no warning. And how his parents keep going through the motions of living.
- How working mothers juggle work and family every DAY of their lives. I have only been doing it for a little over a week, and it is one of the hardest things I have ever done.
- Why God thought that humanity was worth redemption. I mean, he could've scrapped this whole creation and started all over.
