Worldly Why's

A la Providence Journal’s Mark Patinkin

1. Why doesn’t the librarian at our local branch know who Nabokov is?
2. Why are unemployed people supposed to look for work if they spend all of their time trying to file the weekly claim via the most ridiculous phone system?
3. Why do my kids need umbrellas to take a bath?
4. Why does my six-year-old think that it’s cooler to wear the short-sleeved shirt over the long-sleeved one?
5. Why is the weather always nice when I score free museum tickets?
6. Why does the non-fat Greek-style yogurt taste so fatty and yummy?
7. Why does the reduced-fat cheese taste so bland and blah?
8. Why did the radishes I planted start growing and the cucumbers never sprouted?
9. Why does the ice cream truck always arrive at the playground around dinner time?
10. Why did I major in English?
