Monday is finally over. The mind is tired from thinking hard. Time to let it mull over silly questions:
Why can we say “sunshine” and people know we mean sunlight, but not say “moonshine” without meaning homemade alcohol?
Why are eggs in the dairy department when they have nothing to do with milk and cheese?
Why do we say “head over heels? in love?” Our heads are above our heels by default.
Why does everyone have to buckle up in cars, but only the drivers get seatbelts on buses?
Why do we say “make a cup of coffee?” Nobody makes a whole new cup, just the coffee to put into it.
Why do people keep trying to make squirrel-proof birdfeeders? They never work.
Why do people want to colonize Mars? What’s there that’s worth colonizing?
Why is it that the more expensive your meal at a restaurant is, the more likely the chef was touching it all over with his fingers? That’s gross.
How many more idle questions can you come up with?
Many thanks for visiting my blog. I post updates on my writing career, I muse over storytelling and fiction, and I reflect on the curious and wonderful things in life.
