Why?

June 2, 2012 By jbmumofone 15 Comments

ANOTHER tag! Whoop. This time courtesy of her loveliness, Stressy Mummy. I heart her verily so will give this one a go.

Now I am not too sure of the rules here.

Luckily enough W is not big enough yet to have mastered this word. I just know it is something I am soon to hear a lot of but, as yet, it does not fill me with dread in the same way it does other parents. I think this may have been how this meme began. The five “Why?” questions you would throw back at your offspring. A “Why?” parent revenge, en masse.

Or do I just post five genuine “Why?” questions I simply don’t have the answer to?

Which?

Oh dammit, “Which?” could be a WHOLE NEW POST so let’s just do both eh.

For W…

1. Why…oh why do you seem to sense an opportunity for Mummy to have a lie-in and then strangely wake at 5am FULL OF BEANS? *weeps*

2. Why did you LOVE my Hungarian Ghoulash last week but will not digest even a smidgen of it this week?

3. Why is ‘In the Night Garden’ simply not funny unless Mummy sings all the songs too.

4. Why do I deserve you?

5. Why are you the funniest little thing I have ever encountered?

For anyone who can answer…

1. Why, after over two years of not smoking, does a Marlboro Light still smell so delicious?

2. Why can’t Mr B, or actually any man I have ever met, open a new carrier/bin/plastic bag easily?

3. Why is Snickers a better name than Marathon?

4. Why did Monster Munch get smaller?

5. Why is depression so random?

So if you can answer any/all of the above do let me know below.

How about you? What is your burning question?

To see what is keeping everyone else awake at night you can check out the others here.

Now to keep this ball rolling. and staying with the number five, I tag…

1. Motherventing….(mahahaha, she JUST LOVES being tagged!)
2. Yellow Days
3. Bibsey Mama
4. Purple Mum
5. Slightly Suburban Dad

    My god woman you’re quick! It always takes me ages to do these things, so I am seriously impressed and no sadly I do not know the answer to any of your questions except that my husband cannot open a bag of any kind without ripping it!

    I have come to believe that because our kids turn out the way we make them then all parents deserve the kids they get. As W is amazing by definition you are amazing. FACT! You can’t argue with that logic. x

      Consider yourself tagged as well if you fancy it. 100 Why’s may be a bit much though LOL.

    Men CAN open a new bin bag easily. They just pretend they can’t, so they’ve got an excuse not to take the bloody bins out *silently seethes*.
    Thanks for joining in honey. Really enjoyed your list x

    Thanks for the tag. Sorry for the delay… I am FI-NALLY getting round to my ‘Whys?’to post on the blog. But in the meantime here is a question:

    Why is it that I am the only person in the house who can finish a loo roll? And then put the loo roll tube in the recycling?
    Related question:
    Why is there always either a loo roll with a couple of sheets left sitting next to a newly started roll OR just a finished loo roll tube and me with my arse drying in the ‘flush breeze’?

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
