Asinine Questions To Ponder101

Why does mama only see the dog stains? How can dad step over dog stains and not see them? Why is it that mama is the only one who notices trash lying on the floor? How can dad step over trash on the floor and not see it? Does anyone but me see a pattern? My son makes a game of balancing trash on top of the overflowing garbage can...let's see how high we can stack it!! What fun!!

you seem to have a handle on this so why is it that dirty clothes go next to the hamper and not in it? By the way, thanks for your comments

lol.haha, sounds fun for your son & you! and also, it's so sad how some men really see it that way..i mean.why not take out the trash too, let her know that you appreciate what she does...the smallest things can be worse. great write.and i am 17, i was born in 1992, late november.but i love the earlier days so much better, like the mid 70's, and all through the 80's.great times, i've heard it was. have a wonderful night Doris. -Always&Forever Lynette

I was a professional violinist for most of my life - now retired - and played in major symphony orchestras, taught in public schools and in colleges. I don't play these days. at 80 I decided to do something else with my time. LOve, daver

"What fun" is right! You should see my house, Doris - disaster area inside. How can I keep walking around all the mess? It aint hard. Did I understand that you are a fiddler? Love, daver
