Around here, it's pretty well understood that there's not much point in asking questions that begin with "why," because you probably don't really want to know the answer. But, really, sometimes, you gotta wonder . . . .

Like what happened tonight. Actually, this started a couple of days ago, when DS dropped an unopened can of Pepsi. The can's top bulged out a bit, but DS knew about the messy potential of a shaken can, so he carefully set it aside in the pantry. So far, so good. But today,for some reason, BB2K just had to open it - just a teensy bit, apparently, to see what it would do. I can understand her curiosity, but the rest has me stumped.The can had had a couple of days to settle down, so I guess it just hissed a little bit - a bit disappointing, perhaps. Now, BB2K doesn't even like Pepsi, so she didn't drink it, she put it in the refrigerator. Not in the door, mind you, but on a the front of a shelf, and placed so precariously that, when I went to put something else on the shelf a little while ago, this can was dislodged and fell off the shelf onto the floor in front of the fridge. Evidently there was plenty of fizz left in the can, because it erupted in a fine spray that shot at least 5 feet in the air. It managed to cover me and the inside and outside of the fridge, and a good bit of the kitchen floor, before I managed to get both hands on the thing and deposit it in the kitchen sink. I needed a shower anyway, but I really didn't intend to take one in cola. I mopped up what I could, but I'm too tired to deal with the rest of it. The whole fridge is going to need to be emptied out and wiped down tomorrow; I think I got the floor well enough that it won't be sticky when it dries.

That happens in my corner of the kingdom too!

I was getting stuff out to the Fridge yesterday to make Stir Fry when I say a large glass of apple juice on the second shelf down. I got it out of there quickly. This morning there was a glass of water with Chia seeds gelling in the same place! I do not know what they are thinking.

They're not thinking.

It gets better with age, and then

back to square one.

I've witnessed the first and have entered the second.

Why? yes, I love that word. My DH seems to always ask that when I ask him to wash the car, mow the lawn, take out the trash or actually do much of anything!

WHY? A wonderful word indeed. We males need to use it in an attempt to find the logic in many requests.

 

[chickwhispers]

Logic? Men use logic? Is that what they call it?

Race car driving running around in circles at high speeds, logical?
Speed boats flying over the water, logical?
Boxing letting someone punch you in the head, logical?
Football where guys run around a field and knock each other down, logical?
Hockey where you knock a little black puck in circles while trying to stay upright on skinny pieces of metal, and getting teeth knocked out, logical?
Soccer running around a field kicking a ball while several others are kicking it too, risking a kick where you don't want one, logical?

OK man logic.

 

[Alaskan]

NO LOGIC! Bad, bad,BAD

 

[JONNIEGIRL]

Hummmm my DH uses those words as a stall tactic. HUH? WHY? WHEN? WHAT CHA SAY? And the best one yet....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz yup he pretends to be sound asleep in his recliner
when I clearly heard him laughing at TV before I entered the room!

 

[JONNIEGIRL]

haha and here where I live jumping off a perfectly good bridge to sometimes hit the rocks or worse yet drown in the snake river below!

Why, yes, all seem quite logical to me. To this you might add riding the Barbecue Grill Bobsled.

 

[chickwhispers]

Barbecue Bobsled Ride? Is that a summer version?

More like a senile version - it was short but exciting.

I think that the Princess called me STUPID!
