Day 41

Some rhetorical questions. By 'rhetorical', I mean I may or may not already know the answer, but either way I'm not expecting to hear it...

1. What, exactly, is wrong with having two Mint Slice bikkies for dinner?

2. Who invented plaque (the tooth kind), and what's up with that, anyway?

3. Why, oh why, will the dog eat corned silverside, soggy weetbix, old spaghetti sauce, bits of who-knows-what out of the bin, a mouthful or two of poop out of a dirty nappy, a nibble of grass, and some unidentified thing that had obviously already been eaten once before - but turn up his sloppy little nose at some good old-fashioned dog biscuits?

4. How come some plants are 'indoor plants'? How could they have evolved that way, when 'indoors' has only been around for a couple of thousand years at best?

5. How the heck can four people dirty so much clothing over the space of a weekend?

6. What will I be doing one year from now?

7. Who taught my child to say 'what the freakin' hell?'? What is an appropriate punishment for a five year old child who uses the phrase 'what the freakin' hell?' in context, and appears to think this is acceptable?

8. Why won't snow in Bathurst? At least that way when it is freezing we could feel properly sorry for ourselves, then have a snow day and make snow angels.

9. What is it with Japanese people and crazy games involving unicycles and balancing around obstacle courses? What's more, what is with my husband being totally into them? Who funds this sort of shenanigan?

10. Did anyone notice that I completely forgot to blog last night?

11. Who names the different kinds of herbs? Did the herbs get named after people first, or were people always named after herbs?

12. Speaking of herbs, if only three people in the whole world know all eleven of KFC's secret herbs and spices, why three? Is that so if one of them goes rogue, the other two can team up and take him out of the picture? (I assume 'him' - everyone knows girls can't keep secrets.) How do you get chosen to be one of the three?

13. When will Harvey discover the joys of sleeping in?

15. What happened to number fourteen?
