Zoe Elmore: Called by a New Name... Princess

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Hey Bloggy Friends,

I was out running errands this morning and heard someone on the radio talking about their I Don't Get It list and that got me to thinking about starting my own I Don't Get It list.
Here are just a few to kick things off.
I Don't Get...
Thong underwear (Sorry if you're offended as I mention underwear)
I just don't get it. I mean who wants something stuck in an uncomfortable place all day?
My friends who wear them LOVE them and say I just haven't tried the right brand.
Sorry girls... I just don't get it!
I Don't Get...
Wall to wall carpet (Although my house is full of it, unfortunately)
Hardwood floors or tile floors last 5 times longer and are easier to clean. Besides that you can bind a carpet remnant use as a rug until it's worn out or full of stains then throw it out or recycle it.
I Don't Get...
A lot of things.

I'd love to hear your I Don't Get It list.
Let's see how many different ones we have and how many we have in common

Hey Zoe, I don't get those signs that say, "No Standing" on the side of the road. What's that about?

I don't get teacher's who give deadline's for school projects and then give countless extensions for those who don't get the assignment completed on time. What is that teaching the students?

I don't get bungee jumping. Why would anyone WANT to purposefully attach themselves to the end of a rope and plunge hundreds of feet? Not me!

I don't get "Polar Bear Swims". (Is that just a Canadian thing?) Why anyone would jump into freezing cold lake water in the middle of winter is beyond me.

I don't get macrame or ceramics. (Sorry to all of you who enjoy creating these crafts.)

I don't get reading the end of a book first. Doesn't that take away the surprise? What's the incentive to keep reading?

I don't get articles written on the "Joy of Cooking". You mean to tell me you can actually have fun in the kitchen?

I don't get "Mr. Clean". Stop and think about it a minute. Who's scrubbing the bathrooms in your home?

Well, there's just a few off the top of my head. As you can see, there's a good deal this little brain doesn't comprehend...and that's not even including all the mysteries in life where I just concede and say, "I don't get it". Thankfully I know the One who does! :o)

Thanks for the fun,
Joy

Hi Zoe - Here's what I don't get -A child has ADHD and you provide education and parents, espiecally to the parents and yet they continue to complain that there child keeps forgetting or can't remember. Even worse, expects the child to remember to take the medication! jdearing

Hi Zoe,
I don't get a lot of things either.

Like how come parents expect teachers to give into their demands even though it is going against policy or that their child just needs to learn there are consequences for their behavior or lack of.

I don't get why people would like to go to the beach naked...what is up with that?

I don't get why people do not stop at red lights...they zoom through.

oh and there is that bungee jumping thing...I really don't get that

I have to agree about the underwear.

well those are just a few off the top of my head.

blessings and hugs
Tammy

Zoe,

I am totally with you on the thong thing. Although I have a friend who says the three rule. Wear for three days straight and you'll never go back to the regular.

I don't get it why people think it is fun to sit and watch a car go in a circle really fast and pay money to do so.

I don't get it when 2 socks go into the dryer and only one comes out.
