I can explain the four mostly empty bottles of hot sauce in the refrigerator (my kids).
At least Eddy got paid.
I can tell you about why I always say the wrong things (global warming) and why they made Norbit. (It seemed a better option than waterboarding at the time.)
But these things I still don’t get:
People who flip you off when they were the ones driving like an Armenian taxi driver.
Arabic spam. (Yes, I will glad to give you my bank account number as soon as I learn to read right to left.)
Dads who lambaste their wives, especially in public. (You might as well refer to her as “ball and chain” and have her walk three steps behind you.)
Teens who wear shorts all year, even in subzero weather.
People who want me to take care of their pretend farm animals on Facebook.
You lost me before this episode, Michael.
People who worship Michael Jackson in the same realm as Mother Theresa.
Why it still takes 10 women to go to the bathroom at the movie theater.
Frozen food entrees left on top of boxes of kitty litter in the store.
Why my son has the bladder of a gnat.
Bloggers who write list posts.

Add me to the list of non-teens to wear shorts year round. But I promise never to dangle a child over a balcony like idiot Thriller boy.

I also don't get the Farm Animals or Mafia or Gardens or any of those other games on Facebook. The quizzes are fun sometimes – but who has the time or wants to care that their zoo bred a new cougar??

The winter shorts thing probably started here in Sacramento with my son. Granted, it's still warm enough into October here, but I used to cringe when he was still wearing them after Thanksgiving.
And the farm animals — I'm with you. Every day I've got at least 25 farm animals and egg things and tags and whatnots on Facebook. IGNORE.

It is true. When Brett and I were dating and we would meet in Salt Lake in the middle of the winter. There would be two feet of snow on the ground and Brett would wear shorts and sandals. Okay…so I wore sandals too, but it was only because I was from the desert and didn't own anything else!

"People who flip you off when they were the ones driving like an Armenian taxi driver." I can't stand that! Who do they think they are?!
Yeah, Michael's so concerned about the viel coming off the kids head that he's barely holding on with the other hand. As if his baby looks any different than the rest – they're all little aliens at that point. Probably didn't need the viel over the head.
Mr. V doesn't get the bathroom thing either. It's a girl thing – men will NEVER understand.

Farmville, mafia wars, pirates, quizzes (what color are you – how idiotic), pillow fights, I could spend all day just doing all that if I tried to respond to them all so I choose to respond to none. Don't even get me started on Michael worship. What about a room full of teens all sitting around texting each other? And the worst one you included… bloggers who write list posts… tsk tsk tsk.
