Why Is It ...

… that I often warn people by saying, ‘Welcome to my mind. Please fasten your seatbelt and keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. Do not feed the animals, drink the water, or talk to the voices. Enjoy the ride!’

… that I just dunked a cookie into a glass of milk, waited for the bubbles to stop, and thought of you.

… that people never learn the most important tip for talking to me: Don’t.

… that it’s apparently rude to thump someone in the forehead and shout ‘Skip intro’ when they start talking to you.

… that when something says ‘Don’t start it always gives me a thrill and makes me want to start.

… that at a bar the other night I asked for a vodka and the bartender said ‘This is McDonalds’ and then looked at me like I’m crazy when I said, ‘Okay, gimme a McVodka.’

… that someone asks if I want to slip into something more comfortable I will get in my car and leave.

… that I just found out that it’s a ‘thing’ to throw the ball into the crowd after you win the game, but not in bowling … never in bowling.

… that you could really cry me a river and I’d just jump in a boat and row away from you.

… that being naturally funny is annoying  because most of the time I’m just minding my own business and people are over there laughing like I’m doing stand-up.

    1. It makes them stop talking and walk away so I call that a win.

  3. Your probably be like me - Can't abide it when people you know give you advice on how to live your own life, even though it's very likely to be well-meant. I've only got to reflect on THEIR lives to think "No thanks!"

    😬 Yah but, every time I actually "skip intro" on a show, I have to turn to Hubby 5 minutes in and ask "what's going on?" and "who's that guy in the cast?; what's his name?; since when is he in this show?!" 🤪😵‍💫

    1. Oh I just skip intro on people speaking to me. I would never do that to a TV show!

  5. Do you make these up all week and save them for today? Do you collect these clever sayings and keep a notebook of them? I'm always amazed at the number of clever statements you make on this "Why is it..." post!

  6. The thump reminded me of this story: I had friends with a 10-year-old learning disable son. He was charming and had a wicked sense of humor. He had a substitute teacher one day who apparently wasn’t great. At one point, he walked up to her desk, knocked on her head, peered inside her ear, and shouted, “Anybody home?!?” His parents were forced to take it seriously by the school but they couldn’t stop laughing.

  8. It’s like reading the inner monologue of someone who's seen it all and decided to laugh instead.
