Isn't It Strange...






















Just when you find the right cosmetic, it gets discontinued


that when your friend says “let's play ball,” you don't ask what kind


how the first snowfall is so pretty but the second is just a nuisance


jeans the same size fit differently


when one home appliance breaks, there's bound to be two more


people are starving yet this nation throws away tons of food every year


someone says “what?” but you know they heard you


you follow her recipe but mom's always tastes better


salespeople are all smiles when you are buying but try taking it back


whole races of people are hated by another but we are all God's children


six of the exact same item in six different stores have six different prices


one day you can't remember an often used name but the next day you can


how all chocolate chip cookies don't taste the same


that we can not agree on things like guns and climate control even when we all know they are dangerous


a lot of very smart people never go to school


that any crazy person can buy a gun by just checking the box marked sane


there are 8 or 9 different kinds of canned corn


televisions don't seem to give good reception during the program you want to see most


we blame our pillow for a bad night's sleep


a hamburger is a hamburger, but we all have a favorite hamburger joint


you can raise 7 children with one bathroom yet all new home buyers insist on a bathroom for each bedroom


how slow time moves for the young and how fast it flies by for the old


it takes us a whole week to recover from the time change


something seems like a good idea at the time


that some of us make our bed every day


how we love Fido and Trixie but not our neighbors


we cry at a sad tv program but not over the homeless guy on the corner


you can still mail a letter for less than 60 cents and still expect it to get to the other side of the country in a day or 2............or not


different cuts of meat cost anywhere from $2.89 a pound to $35.00 a pound and it's all cow


we say someone looks like they should be a “David.” What's that all about?


They stop playing one of our old, favorite songs because they claim the lyrics are racist, sexist or whatever


we send the youngest and least experienced off to fight our wars


we have 47 shades of red nail polish. It's all red.


A monkey can make art, but I cant draw a straight line


we can go to the moon but still struggle with 26 kinds of the common cold


we can't wait for fall, or spring, or summer, or winter


a certain song can unite over a million people


a certain football game can unite over a million people


no one sees the same color red


when someone says orange.....it could be a fruit or a color


tvs are smarter than people


we ask grandchildren for help


many animal species eat their young


some animal species take turns raising their young


how Kevin has to go to the bathroom when we first start to do dishes


how my kitchen is smallest room in house but everyone wants to be in there at same time


we can send a message to the other side of the globe without wires but my phone only works 33 percent of the time


our tv control is larger than our phone


father did know best


we still haven't figured out when it's nature and when it's nurture





you get the idea............isn't it strange???
