Making the Bed and Other Non-Sense

Last week was Spring Break and a lot of us, including myself, were sick. So I have nothing to write about that. Instead I thought I would have some fun and share some things that just don't make sense to me. Enjoy!

#1 Making the bed
I know a lot of people find it important to make the bed. I just don't get it!
My mom never made me make my bed when I was growing up. What's the point when you are just going to get back in it in a few hours? It's not like your bed has to be made for you to sleep in it. And as far as cleanliness and appearances go, only the special few should see your "bed chambers" anyway. So what the big?
These days there are kids that mess the sheets up while I try to make the bed so, I ask you...
What's the point?

No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed!

#2 Going by your middle name
So is your first name just not good enough? I mean, your parents gave that name for a reason. And if the parent is the one who started calling the child by their middle name that's just crazy. Why didn't they just name them that name in the first place. It's so confusing.

#3 Charts and Sizes
As soon as we are born we are compared to all the other babies in the nation. Is that really necessary? You can't compare the child of 2 people over six feet tall to one that was born premature to a couple of portly smokers!

When my oldest child, Maddison, was a child the doctors told me she would never reach 4 feet tall. I was devastated! All of this because she was a teeny little girl being compared to everyone else. I assure you, at 19 years old Maddison is short, but she reached 5 feet tall a while ago.

If that isn't enough, they have other charts to tell you when you are healthy based on your height and weight. Really? Skinny does not equal healthy and curves do not mean you are unhealthy. For that matter, the scale does not know the the shape your organs are in.

#4 Last names
                                        GRIER
I chose beautiful names for my daughters and one day they will be expected to change them. This has always bothered me. If a name is so important for a man would it not be equally important for a woman? Why should my girls lose the name they were given and have had all their lives? To show they belong to someone else? Ew! They belong to God.

And for that matter, why doesn't the husband change his name to his wife's? Oh, that's too imasculating? Boo hoo. Everyone keep your birth name. We will survive.
