Since my family is German, why did we never call our grandparents Oma and Opa? And why are MY parents not called that now?
Since my husband's family has a strong presence in the various Mennonite and Old Order Amish, why is no grandparent called Dawdi and Mammi? I guess Memaw is sort of close, but hmmm.....
Why do some articles of clothing reflect the mostly flat belly I have worked so hard to re-achieve, while others make me look like I'm pregnant again?
Why does it take having a child to make you realize the small things really DON'T matter?
Why does it take a bazillion times longer to get anything done when you have a child?
Why can't I get past my fear of eating Asian food after 10 1/2 years? I get the craving, but chicken out.
Why does it feel so good to brush your teeth?
Why is it so much fun to watch a person sleep?
Why do we wonder about things that are so silly?

Kids name their grandparents, doesn't matter what you do. Joshua's Grandmother is visiting with us right now, she wanted to be called "grammy", but baby Joshua named her "Gummy". It's been her name for over 30 years.

Because some clothing makers are jealous.

It takes so much time and energy to keep them alive every day, you can't even remember what the small things are, let alone worry about them.

The second law of thermodynamics says that entropy increases over time. Thus, chaos always increases, and it takes way more energy to reduce the chaos than to let it happen. Kids are chaos.

Just do it - you're close enough to a hospital...
Why does it feel so good to brush your teeth?
No one likes the taste of dead squirrel in their mouth.

See previous answer about chaos.

Lack of sleep.
LOL!!! I knew if anyone could answer them, it'd be you, Claudia! Thanks for the laugh this morning!
