Why Is It ...

… that even though I often check myself, I tend to wreck myself?

… that I don’t have a “train” of thought but instead have seven trains on four tracks that narrowly avoid each other when their paths cross and all the conductors are screaming.

… that when I see the sign that says “Please See Cashier” I get right back into my car and find another gas station?

… when someone asks me what essential oils might best calm down my family, my mind instantly goes to chloroform?

… that when I invite people to my house for a party, they get upset that I really meant, ‘Come over and help me fold clothes’?

… that my boss hates when I bring a sort of ‘We should all quit’ vibe into the office?

… that whenever I see a Facebook ‘memories’ post of mine, I’m always wearing the same shirt … the one I have on right now?

… that there are days when coffee isn't enough, and I wish I could be struck by lightning?

  3. Hmmmmmm "chloroform". That might be the solution to clearing up my family's disfunction.

    I look forward to this column each week, but sometimes I ask myself "why is it?..." that good people question themselves "why is it?..." and those who should think more refuse to do it?! Now I'm caught in a why loop I can't escape from! 🤪

    1. It's a vicious cycle, circle, or whatever.

  7. See, I wreck myself first and then proceed to check myself for cuts, scrapes and bruises.
    I usually have only two trains of thought. Unfortunately they are on one track running in opposite directions at breakneck speeds. No conductor in sight.
    That last one only happens to me in late fall through all of winter.
    Have a good weekend, Bobulah.

  9. I really get the same shirt matter. Not long ago I immediately threw out a shirt when I saw a photo of myself wearing it in England in 2014.

    1. I have shirts that are very old, but fit good, feel good, and so I end up wearing them a lot. I need to re-look at all my old photos!

    2. Shirts that fit good Bob? Do you have fit body? Or like me who tries for flattering garments to cover over a not so fit body?

  10. Why is it that Bob chose to have exactly twenty one question marks at the top of his "Why Is It?" blogposts?

  11. Why is it that when my neighbours have fights that include screaming and throwing things my own stomach gets all churned up even though I have locked my doors?
