The saggy pants trend.
STILL forgetting to silence a cell phone in any church service or performance.
Any math above Algebra 1.
Paying $150 for a swimsuit.
The appeal of misspelled food products, like Cheez Whiz or Sno-Balls.
Chasing tornados.
The backlash against Harry Potter by the same Christians who loved the Narnia books.
Why people will spend $4 for a bag of chips but not a few cents extra for organic fruit.
The many worlds theory, although I think it’s cool.
Why parents of young children feel compelled to answer the question, “How old is your child?” with something like “22 months and three weeks.” Couldn’t you just say, “Almost two”? I didn’t really care that much anyway.
Why my hair always looks really good when I’m just staying home all day.
Vehement opinions about Coke vs. Pepsi.
Why 19th century pioneers willingly moved to frigid places like North Dakota and Minnesota when they could just as easily have headed south.
Why people still live in North Dakota and Minnesota.
The point of the  “I’m alive I’m alive I’m alive I’m alive” chorus in the worship song “You Alone.”
Refusing vaccinations for one’s child.
How to score bowling.
The people who hear a “No flash photography” announcement and take pictures anyway.
breakfastburger_breakfast1Choosing to eat the Breakfast Burger at Carl’s Jr—bacon, cheese, hamburger, eggs AND tater tots…….on a bun………before noon.
While we’re on the topic, who on earth is eating those mashed potato/corn/fried chicken/gravy bowls at KFC?  Or the fried macaroni and cheese bites at Arby’s? Or the corn dog nuggets at A&W?

Stay tuned……there may be more.
