Why?

• Why do preschool teachers give whistles to three year olds? (how long will it take me to "misplace it"?)
• Why do 13 year olds feel the need to spend every waking moment (there are only about six of those moments) texting, seeing, or otherwise interacting with their friends?
• Why am I so much smaller than my oldest daughter... makes for interesting discipline situations (she could smash me).
• Why do I come home so late?
• Why are my kids so perfectly mannered and behaved when we are around other people and absolutely wild at times around me?
• Why don't I just live in the moment and enjoy the blessings?
