I’m not particularly bright. Never have been, never will be. I’m not a total moron or anything, but I’m pretty close.
But, just so we’re clear, even I understand some things. Just not… many.
Here are the things I do not understand, no matter how my pea-brain tries to logicate* it on out.
- Why is the Geico lizard Australian and/or British? If they’re trying to sell American car insurance, shouldn’t that lizard be all, “I speak AMERICAN?”
- Why are the Kardashians on my television set, on my magazine covers, and anywhere else they can put their faces? If I got this right, Kim Karashian got famous because some famous guy peed on her and then released the sex tape. So we’re basically hanging out with this family who got famous because Kimmy got a golden shower. That’s baffling.
- Why is Coldplay is so popular? I get that the whole sensitive foreign guy appeal is a real panty-twister, but seriously, Chris Martin sounds like he has a cold. I want to give him a tissue, not my virginity.
- Why do girls actually compete with each other on The Bachelor? Now, I get the whole competitive thing–I do. But I don’t understand how you’d want to actually BE with a guy who is a) on a reality show or 2) has thirty women to choose from. I’d rather feel special, not like I was just Number 28.
- What 4-year olds can handle an iPod Touch? I can’t keep my OWN from breaking–how could I get my kid, who doesn’t understand the term “gentle,” to keep the thing working? I may as well throw my money out the window. Also: damn kids on my lawn!
- Why anyone would wear hemp. Hemp is possibly the scratchiest, drabbest fabric out there – even worse than wool, which is saying something. So why do people voluntarily choose to wear hemp products?
Okay, so what don’t YOU understand?
*Yes, I know it’s a made-up word.
About Aunt Becky
Kim got peed on? I need to watch more viral videos. Alas, I really don’t find them all that fascinating, which is why I don’t get the Kardasian thing either. Or the Bachelor.

I agree that most hemp products out there are no better than wool….BUT my favorite outfit was made of a raw silk/hemp blend, and softer and airier than good linen. It’s all in the style, I think. Hemp can make wonderfully soft cloth. :)
Other than that, I have NO answers to the rest of your questions!

I have wondered the first three many, many times.
Do I dare admit that I *so* wore hemp in the 90s?
Naah, I so won’t.
:)
logicate* I didn’t even get that it was a made up word, my brain recognized it immediately & understood it completely. #1 & #2, I’ve never understood either. #3, Isn’t Chris Martin married to Gwenyth (sp) Paltrow? Maybe that lends to his popularity? #5 We *just* got my 6yo son his first electronic game so… #6 I’ve never felt anything made from hemp that was soft. Liquid? yes. Soft fabric/material? No. Maybe we aren’t shopping in the right places, but soft hemp sounds too hard to find.
