Why? Why? Why?
by Shadowstalker, Washington, U.S.A.

Why do people feel compelled to share horror stories of their:

  • Long excrutiating experiences while in labor to pregnant women, especially if they are in their last months of pregnancy.
  • Harrowing experiences with unruley children to new mothers/fathers and parents-to-be.
  • Entire experience while getting their wisdom teeth surgically removed to anyone who will listen.
  • Detailed account of how they sustained injuries of any sort to anyone who will listen.

Have you ever notice that some people ask dumb questions when the situation is obvious...

  • They'll ask you, "Are you okay?" just after they've seen you get hit by a 2-ton semi truck. What do you say to something like that? "Well...I've got a bleeding head wound, a broken neck, ten crushed ribs, and I'm dying! No, I'm *not* okay, call 911, you idiot!"

Why do people, especially waiters/waitresses always ask my companions what I want? (I am in a wheelchair.)

Why do people assume that I cannot answer their questions, and ask whomever I'm with "What's wrong with her?" It's usually guys that do this.

I want to grab 'em by the scruff of the neck and say, "Nothing is wrong with me, but there's something wrong with you, if you don't think I can answer that question on my own, and, if you want to know, why dont'cha just ask *me*!"

'Scuse me for a second! Sorry if that seemed a bit, emotional! It's something that, even at 16 years old, still bugs me.

Why do parents say "You can't play 'til you clean your room"? Do they think about what the kid's room is gonna look like when they're done playing? (Mine never did.)

Why can you bet that you will hear someone say, approximately one nanosecond before impact. "Hey, is that a truck?"

Here's some flawed logic:

  • If Nobody's perfect, and I am Nobody, does that make *me* perfect?

I found this bit of flawed logic written on the bathroom wall:

    FIRST hand writing: GOD IS LOVE
    SECOND hand writing: LOVE IS BLIND
    THIRD, in faint pencil: RAY CHARLES IS BLIND
    FOURTH, written in bold handwriting in red Marker:
      THEREFORE, RAY CHARLES IS GOD?

* My thought, that I didn't add to the wall:
    WELL, IF RAY CHARLES IS GOD,
    NIETSCHE WAS WRONG,
    AND GOD *IS* ALIVE....

By the way, IF WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WRITE ON THE WALLS, WHY DID GOD DO IT? (according to the Bible)

Hockey
by Sarah D., Vermont, U.S.A.

When I was 2 my two older brothers started playing hockey for my city. When they started I loved the rink. I could run around every Sunday during my brothers games . By the time I was 6 though, I started to get sick of the rink. I was always there and I never got to stay home and play with my barbies and my other toys. When I turned 9 I got a great gift. I was going to be allowed to stay home during the home games. I was very happy. Until I turned 11 I did just that and I loved it. When I was 12 I went to a game every once and a while, but I still didn't like it. This went on until 2 years ago, Since then my oldest brother graduated from high school and my younger brother got picked for my high school's Hockey team. I started going to games every chance I got. Now I can't wait to go to my brother's hockey games!!

(P.S. This year my brother's hockey team is #1 in the state)
