Do You Ever Wonder....

...why a child will put their dirty body into a tub full of clean water, add soap and then proceed to drink the water? (I think my 6 year old is addicted)

...Why your kids can't hear you while they're playing the Wii until after your phone rings? (my 11 year old never fails!)

...where 8 year old boys get all their energy? (He RUNS everywhere)

...Where girls learn to roll their eyes and sigh in that way that sends electricity down through your arm and fills you with an overwhelming desire to reprove with a sharp slap? (My 10 year old excels)

...why children HAVE to sound like a herd of elephants when they go up stairs? (I've made them tip toe around before and it all sounds the same)

...why two boys can share a room and be bitter enemies until it's time to put pajamas on? (I guess we're all equals in our underwear)

...what it is about upstairs windows that tempts kids to constantly have the blinds open and the windows open, rain or shine, morning and evening?

...where Not Me and I Dunno live? (They sure create a lot of problems!)

...how a 5 foot 11 year old that weighs 80 lbs can put away half a loaf of bread, half a jar of peanut butter and half a jar of jelly in 20 minutes after school?

...if they get in trouble for fooling around instead of working far more often than you're told? (Cause they'd never get anything done at school if they worked THERE like they work at home!)

...If they'll always take everything you say literally? ("hmm...I need to cut this recipe in half..." "I'LL GET THE SCISSORS!!!")

... some kids have such a deep seated aversion to cleanliness?

...if those boys really know what a laundry bucket is for? (4 empty buckets in a room carpeted with clothing!!!)

...where all the clean towels went? (I just washed them!!)

..why they obey Dad and not you? (I just said the same exact thing!!)

...when they got so heavy?

...and if they are that heavy, why do they insist on sitting on your lap?

Just thought I'd ask....
