Today, a few thoughts passed through my head that just made me wonder...
- How did my mom feed four children, herself and one giant man of a husband lunch with one can of tunafish? Seriously, I just made myself a tuna sandwich and ended up eating the whole can (although half would have been sufficient)...
- For that matter, how did one large pizza feed the same number of people, with leftovers? One large pizza here doesn't last us with four, let alone six!
- Can everyone, with enough training or classes, "become talented" in any area?
- How did my car's missing license plate end up at my front door this afternoon after being gone for a week? And what was it doing while it was missing? And how did it get home?
- Today, as I said goodbye to my son and he asked, "Wait, where are you going?" And I replied, "Out for a walk." He said to me, "But I thought it was going to rain?" After stopping to "Hmmmmmmm", how would you have answered this:
- Yes, but it isn't raining NOW
- I'm NOT the wicked witch of the east/west; I don't melt
- Does rain mean my feet stop working?
Anything ever just strike you as "hmmmm" worthy?
Great pondering. I wonder how my Mom managed 2 adults and 7 kids in a house with ONE bathroom when we have issues with 2 adults and 3 kids in THREE bathrooms! And how she kept seven kids in line when I can't seem to control the two that aren't adults yet.
ReplyDeleteI cannot flippin' resist!
ReplyDeletean anyone tell me where my post title is from? This is the title and most remembered lyric of a song from the late 80's/early 90's by C+C Music Factory
How did my mom feed four children, herself and one giant man of a husband lunch with one can of tunafish? Beats me, but my mom managed two daughters, herself and my very hungry dad also...i'm betting it was adding lettuce and tomato to the bread and serving with chips, but it certainly does seem miraculous.
For that matter, how did one large pizza feed the same number of people, with leftovers? Did pizza's shrink? Cuz a large doesn't fed US either...my 3 year old can eat three pieces and still not gain a stinkin' pound!
Can everyone, with enough training or classes, "become talented" in any area? No. Some things cannot be taught...singing, for example, is as much about how you hear as how you actually produce sound...and some people are not physiologically equipped to hear what they sound like or, for that matter, tell if anything is in or out of tune.
How did my car's missing license plate end up at my front door this afternoon after being gone for a week? And what was it doing while it was missing? And how did it get home? You know, if this was me, I'd be checking with the local police department to make sure that my plate wasn't used in a crime. Just to be sure....
...how would you have answered this (question about the rain) I would have said (and have said in the past) "Contrary to popular belief, I do not melt in the rain!
Hmmmmm..... Why has it taken me so long to catch up over here?! Just had a lovely browse of all your recent posts - congrats on your anniversary, gorgeous roses! I'm very impressed by all your creativity too, what a fabby collection of cards and the purse is *darling* :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...in answer to the third question, I have to say, "NO!" I think people can become skilled at a wide variety of endeavors, given enough effort and hard work and good instruction...but talent? To me, talent refers to some sort of innate propensity for something. But then that talent can either be honed or...well...wasted!
ReplyDeleteThat's my take--of course, it's all semantics. That's the English teacher in me coming out! :)
p.s. For some reason, the part about your missing license plate reappearing really cracked me up! :-P
