9 on the 9th November

I totally slacked on 9 on the 9th this month! In fact...I didn't even finish my list, ignored Mr. Linky and forgot that I had it scheduled to post. Crazy.

Nine trivial things I do not understand.

1) Why there were nearly empty checkout aisles at my local Super Wal-Mart reserved for people with 20 items or less and two open aisles with lines of four carts or more open to shoppers with more than 20 items. There were two cashiers standing in front of their aisles trying to attract shoppers, but I was turned away because of having 24 items.

2) Why Strawberry Shortcake and her friends do not have parents, yet are referred to as kids by the very adult looking Sour Grapes and the Peculiar Purple Pie Man of Porcupine Peak.

3) The need for pre-made Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches in the grocer's freezer.

4) How human beings a fraction of my size and with stomachs as big as my thumb can consume more food than I can in a single sitting.

5) Why is there such a thing as "Mommy-Guilt" yet we never hear the phrase "Daddy-Guilt."

6) How a certain anonymous preschooler can throw a knock-down-drag-out screaming fit for a solid-(I kid you not) 45 minutes without passing out from exhaustion when I want to pass out after just witnessing the fit...however, I am certain that controlling one's emotion's takes more energy than losing it.

7) Why I can remember things that happened when I was three years old, but cannot remember where I placed my coffee cup less than 5 minutes ago.

8) Cowlicks.

9) Why many streets in my current city have three or more different names. For instant, there is a street close to us names GSR, after driving it for three miles it becomes BS, then in just 5 more miles it changes again...the road does not curve and the changes happen in the same county. What's up with that??

8)
