Think About It!

     We are a strange bunch of creatures, us humans.  We say and do things that make very little sense at times, but we continue to do them anyway.  I’ve just thought about it today and I’ve decided to list a few of the things I am talking about.

     Think about it:  We complain week-end after week-end that we have to get out in the yard, go to our storage sheds and remove the lawn mower.  We have to make sure it has gas and is well prepared so that we can cut the grass.  We complain week after week.  Yet, as soon as we have cut the grass what do we do?  We get out the hose or sprinkler and water the lawn so that it will grow!  We are truly a strange bunch.

     Here’s a little quick one to think about:  We are constantly getting the proper use of our words into situations that should be just the opposite.  Consider:  We DRIVE on the PARK way and we PARK on the DRIVE way!  Why couldn’t we get the word and the usage to make more sense?

     I think all of us could relate to this when we were growing up.  I’m sure this never happened to you, but you’ve done something to make you Mother REALLY mad at you.  She has you sitting or standing in front of her while she is trying to explain the situation to you and why you were wrong and are now getting this verbal scolding.  Then the words come out of her mouth: “Don’t say a word while I’m talking to you!”  Do you remember that?  Any yet only a moment later she looks at you with THAT look.  You know the look I’m talking about and she says:  “Why don’t you answer me when I ask you a question?”  You begin to explain and then she fires back:  “Don’t you say a word!”  You remember the situations.

    Yes, we are simply a funny lot!  But then again we’re only human.
