I really enjoyed your list! Thanks for sharing this. Here is a question that Elizabeth and I ask every time we leave a customer service counter:
When did all of the big corporations get together to decide that the customer is NEVER right?
1. I get the 8:00 tired and can't sleep until midnight. I have no idea why this happens.
5. At Harmon's there are several lanes with no candy. I always pick them when I really want to buy candy…accidentally pick them that is.
6. We do not own bleach we only buy color safe bleach because it is never safe in our home.
12. Because cheese and butter are 2 of the greatest inventions in food ever!!!
18. Why do we bother with clothes anyway? I would like to wear my swim suit every day. Then I would live where it is warm and not have to deal with the cold.
All I have to say is "Funk Dat!"
I love you Darci!!
Why do drivers insist on passing me on the freeway only to exit right as they get back into my lane? There is no one behind me!
When I put my Christmas tree away, why can't it automatically be summer?
Why can't dinner make itself?
Who's idea was it that retirement age is 65 and not 35?
I could go on and on and on….
