Mysteries that have confounded the best minds in my house.

I have been reflecting and puzzling about a life recently and cant seem to find an answer to these.

  • Why do women punish men by not talking to them? I think the mother whilst breast-feeding passes the secret onto a daughter. The conversation goes something like this…..“when a man has annoyed you…don’t talk to him. He will then faff about you trying to make it better. Well girls we too have a secret, it does not bother us. In the words on the song “silence is golden”. The quieter the better……be as silent as you like for as long as you like.  
Why are my cupboards always empty? This may be because I hate supermarkets, corner shops or garages. There is always somebody standing in front of tin of beans that you want, then when I get to the tills I am always standing in the slowest line, and when I change, that line then becomes the slowest. 

  • Why do my children hate me dancing - this is one of the benefits of being a parent…. nothing like embarrassing the kids. At my last family do I had a few jigs with random people, aunties, sisters etc. and I was delighted when I glanced over at my kids and my son was looking stony faced with his jaw dropped and mouth wide open looking as if he was in pain, and my daughter just mouthed “no dad”. Saturday night fever and the moon dance is not dead in my world.

  • Why do women think that they can punish and torture men by not talking? This is one of life’s great mysteries, but I think I have the answer. I believe that the secret is passed from mother to daughter while breast-feeding. The conversation probably goes like this “when he has annoyed you…make him pay with silence, even if you want a bit of fun and keep him on his toes….. Don’t talk to him…he will hate that then faff about you trying to make it better. Well girls we to have a secret too, it does not bother us. In the words on the song “silence IS golden”. The quieter the better, the more often the better, be as silent as you want for as long as you like.  

  • Why do women always hog the TV remote? If a mans little finger moves a fraction of a millimetre in the direction of the remote….FLASH….as quick as a mockingbird blinking its snatched up in a hooked claw and taken out of range of the downtrodden man who is mystified and stunned at the prospect of his wife’s hand moving that fast. 
Other things I waste far to much time thinking about are; 

  • What is so great about sliced bread?
  • What really is the greatest thing since sliced bread?
  • What was the greatest thing before sliced bread, was it the  bread slicer?
  • Why do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds in the drive while we leave useless things and junk in the garage.
  • Why don't marriage licenses expire?
  • Do babies think adults are cute?
  • Why are there no "B" size batteries?
  • Why do women open there mouths when we put on mascara?
Think I will do some internet shopping! 

My regular reader will notice I have changed the background to the bolg…I think the technical name is….well actually I think background is the technical name. Hope you like it.
