Things I don’t understand…

Posted on June 15, 2012 13 Comments

gumboots - no laces

There are many things in life that I just don’t understand. Here are just a few…

I don’t understand why that Embarrassing Bodies TV show (come on, you’ve all seen it at least once!) has the slogan’There’s no shame, we’re all the same’… but actually that whole show is about the fact that we are all different.

I don’t understand why my new gumboots have laces when there is nothing to lace and I especially don’t understand why the laces are longer than my legs. I had to take them out, they drove me insane.

I don’t understand why I dreamed about Blogher (A big women’s blog conference in the US) and why, in my dream, it was like a huge summer camp, and why, in my dream, a group of cross dressers threw a huge and awesome Blogher party, and why, in my dream, Shae from Free Range in Suburbia crashed a golf cart into a lake… at Blogher. I really don’t understand my dreams.

I don’t understand about 95% of the things my toddler says.

I don’t understand why people spend hundreds of dollars on jeans.

I don’t understand why some ‘fancy’ eateries have to put pine nuts on everything!

I don’t understand why my iphone always changed the word ‘do’ to ‘so’.

    I don’t understand why my phone never remembers my name or address (when I am sending an entry to an SMS competition, and I have to key in the whole thing) and yet it wants to ‘help’ me when there is no such ‘help’ required.
    And I don’t understand why men are not capable of closing/sealing packets or containers or coffee tin lids or ANYTHING that needs closing.

    I don’t understand why people in my house claim to have cleaned the kitchen after I have cooked dinner, but have simply filled the dishwasher and not actually turned it on, and put the leftovers back in the oven.

    I am aiming to do a similar post. There are so many things that just don’t make sense. I don’t get the jeans thing either.

    I loved your list. I don’t understand that I can go to the Apple Store and listen to what they tell me to do with (insert word of choice based on products beginning with I) then come home and nothing works.
    Is it me?
    I am hopeless at anything spatial.
    Maybe it’s me.

    Totally love this. I don’t get – have never “gotten” … why kids toothpaste only comes in small tubes… most families have 2.something kids – so more kids than adults on average. Yet adults have large tubes and kids small… Why don’t you get family size tubes – just.never. understand. this!!!

    I didn’t get the orange laces in the gumboots either, but thought they would be good for threading.

    I don’t know anything about anything! And kudos to you to be able to watch Embarrassing Bodies, I ran screaming from the room in the first three seconds once I realised what I was looking at was an ulcer-covered penis.
