things I don’t understand, part 4
The people who meander through the middle of a crowded mall, airport or movie theater and just STOP in the middle of the stream, looking around with confused faces, oblivious to the human traffic piling up behind them. Bonus points if they run over toes with strollers or suitcases.
The biathlon. Does anyone except Jason Bourne need to ski cross-country while shooting a rifle?
Becoming a proctologist. The money must be great.
Why Subway puts oil and vinegar all over their subs, then gives you one napkin.
Parents who constantly holler at their kids for being kids—i.e. curious, talkative, busy. Start saving now for their therapy.
Those ducks people dress up and place outside their front doors.
Joining “causes” on Facebook. Am I missing the way this is helping?
Pastors who think it’s a good idea to have their son as associate pastor, wife as women’s ministry director, daughter as children’s director, etc……and the elders who allow it.
Why the ice cream truck in my neighborhood played “Silent Night” all summer.

It’s not a duck, it’s a goose.
A few years ago, we gave one to my mom because she is “Grandma Goose”. We also gave her an outfit for every season. I think the Goose is still an Easter Bunny from last year.
Aside from the aforementioned issue, you have my full support. Maybe you should create a “Support Jen” cause on FB?
OOOHHHH, a goose. Well, that changes everything.
The ice cream truck playing Silent Night in the summer could indeed leave one confused and befuddled. Hopefully i spelled befuddled right or that will make the list of people who write words they can’t spell.
Good use of “befuddled.” This summer’s ice cream truck concert series also included Rudolph and Jingle Bells. It’s beyond me.
