What is it about kids and the never-ending ”Why?”
It’s usually when we’re in the car I’m bombarded with questions, some of which I can answer….
“Why are we going to the dentist?”
“Why is broccolli good for you?”
“Why do I have to stop hitting my brother over the head with a plastic dinosaur?”
Then there are the ones that leave me struck dumb…
“Why do we swallow food?”
“Why are frogs green?”
“Why do I have a twig and you don’t?” (yes, he really asked that, and he’s not referring to part of a tree).
Don’t you ever want to get your own back?
Just turn and bombard the little buggers with a tirade of your own.
Like….
Why do I have to say “Oh flip” when the word I really want to say starts with “F” and ends in a resounding “uck”?
Why can’t I answer the phone without two ninjas landing on top of me before the second ring?
Why is my pelvic floor missing in action?
Why do you always need a wee when we’re doing 70 on the motorway?
Why am I a social outcast on aeroplanes?
Why is Justin Fletcher my only adult company all day?
Why has my scent changed from DKNY to P….O…..O?
Why are there Fruit Pastilles in my make-up bag?
Why do you drive me nuts – but when I’m away from you, I miss you?
Well those are mine.
What would be yours, if you could speak freely and let rip?
We’re starting this up as a meme, and the rules are as follows:
1. Post your whys – as few or as many as you like
2. Link up your post below, and it would be great if you could leave a comment too
3. Tag 5 bloggers to keep this going
4. If you’re not a blogger, leave your whys as a comment below. We’d love to read them
5. Show your support by reading a few others and commenting on them
So to get the ball rolling, we’re tagging the following:
Our Scot in the Deep South, DorkyMum Ruth
Domestic goddess Helen over at The Crazy Kitchen
The randomly ranting Tattooed Mummy
The gorgeous Emma, AKA Mama Syder
The lovely Kara, over at ChelseaMamma
If you’re not mentioned above, and you’re asking “WHY NOT ME?” then please just join in. We meant to tag you (honest!)
Oh this I like muchly! I will beg a tag from Helen.
No need to wait. Get stuck in love. Wasn’t sure, as last time I tagged you, you said you had too many to do and you were cutting back #nicetobepopular ;-D
Why not? I think my biggest one is – why won’t you shut the flip up?
Note the use of the word ‘flip’ – when you really want to say something else!
Oh yes that last one us definitely true! Thanks for the tag, I’ll see what I can do! X
Haha, roaring with laughter at this! All your whys ring true here! Can’t wait to do mine, thanks for tagging! xx
What a fab post x
This made me laugh. So true! Great post!
I have finally done mine x x
Love this meme – superb; thats so much for setting up and giving me a very good giggle! Hope u like my “Whys” too
Fantastic idea, I enjoyed this x
But why should I comment? Why?
Brilliant! great questions.. very important ones too!!
Great meme! Hope I haven’t got it too wrong?
Linked mine – I think Justin Fletcher is an outstanding children’s tv presenter just a shame he doesn’t look a little more like Johnny Depp!
So going to do this! Love it. Will link up later.
Loved doing this, my first Meme as a blogger father as well
Hooray! I’ve done it!! Thank you for the tag and for the excuse to rant (again) (also fruit pastilles anywhere is surely a win?)
PS sorry my whys are really for the world in general and not a toddler – I don’t have a toddler any more ;-( only a rather grown up 12 year old
I’m going to keep Fruit Pastilles in my make up bag. Instead of make up. For sneaky fruit pastille moments.
This is the first time I’ve been tagged or participated in a Meme. It was fun. Hope I did it all right. In our house it’s chocolate in the handbag rather than fruit pastilles in the make up bag, and I’m not sure I can always blame the kids
. Thanks for organising
Brilliant idea so have joined in. Understand the Justin Fletcher one, went through that phase too!
