Things I Wonder
There are those great issues of global warming and poverty but then again I have questions on things that are simple...that are possibly easier to answer. Here are some of the things I wonder about....
1) When someone falls down, why do people ask, "Did you hurt yourself?" Of course, they hurt themselves. They FELL down!
2) In the phrase "To be or not to be, that is the question"....to be what? A frog? A cookie? A human being?
3) Why is a salt shaker called a shaker and not a sprinkler?
4) Who thought of the name, "hot dog"? It bears no resemblance to a dog.
5) Why do waiters and waitresses come to your table every 5 minutes to ask if everything is okay? I think it's a bit overkill if you ask me. If they are that curious, they may as well pull up a chair and join me. I'll give them the play by play detail.
6) Why do dogs lick themselves?
7) Why DO they call those hot wings, buffalo wings?
8) Why do the NFL players get paid so much money to throw a ball around?
9) When I was a kid, my mom used to warn me to stop being hardheaded. What exactly is the difference between a hard head and a soft head?
10) Why do people complain that sloppy joes are so messy?
11) Why does Walmart hire non-English speaking employees? If I get asked one more time if I speak English and where the sugar is, I'm going to ask to be put on their payroll.
12) Why do older people where such loud smelling perfume?
What do you wonder? Use your imagination and be honest. There are no stupid wonderings.

Loved your post today!
Just yesterday I was sharing #2 with a co-worker. We need to sadly alert clients not to wear perfume (I have asthma) If it is overwhelming I must leave the office.
And I kind of like when the wait staff checks in a lot--just in case I need something.
Don't dogs lick themselves because they can't turn on the faucet to the bathtub??? :)
Old people can't smell as well as they used to, so they slather on the perfume, thinking they don't have enough on.
Thanks for your encouragement on my Blog in regard to homeschooling. Do you remember what curriculum you used?

The sport players can make what teachers get paid!
Stop by when you can, I miss seeing you.

I've wondered some of those as well!!!
There is history and an answer for all those questions. Someone could write a good book answering them and all the others you've wondered about in your blog. :)
That's some big thinking going on CCD :-)
Happy weekend.

You got us thinking today!
I wonder why French fries are called French fries.
Why do old time country music stars wear such God awful costumes?
Why do men like the Three Stooges?
And I totally agree with you about waiters. I always drink unsweetened tea, then add Sweet and Low; they come and replenish my tea every few minutes, so I'm constantly adding more sweetener and stirring. AAARRRGGG!!!!
I loved your wonderings!
God bless ya and have a marvelous Monday!!!
