Why is Charlotte pronounced with an SH- beginning, where Charles has a CH- beginning?
Why is one fish called a fish, and three fish called…fish? Not fishes, but fish. Why?
Why whenever I see the word “subtle” I pronounce the silent ‘b’ in my head?
Why hasn’t Apple created iPhones with indestructible glass? I’ve already broken three iPhone screens in the past year. THREE. Thank God for the people at Cellairis who fixed my phone in 20 minutes flat. I think my clumsiness will keep you guys in business.
Why given the option between two things, I always gravitate towards the more expensive item. Champagne tastes, people. Champagne tastes.
Why grown men can’t pick up after themselves. If my man-child and I produce man-children, I will lose my shit.
Cleaning out a fridge you share with a man-child is the WORST.

Why being 30 doesn’t seem like the end of the world now that I’m 30.
Why the e-mailed 50% sales of certain stores are only good if you buy one item at regular price. That’s not a sale. That’s a gimmick.
Remember these?
Why the hell do they now look like this:
The water goes right through them, so the plants are constantly parched. So much for trying to make the front porch look nice. Anyone have experience with these hanging death basket liners?
Why am I less-inspired to blog during the summer, but I’m more inspired to design blogs? Somethings are happening on my design site that are making me quite excited. If you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to this past week, you’ll find your answer there.
What things do you not understand?
Girl Brooks says
Every.single.one. of these. And now I’m stumped as to why Charlotte is pronounced with a “sh”. Why?
Lisette says
If you figure it out, please let me know!
Michelle says
Love this! iPhone definitely needs better glass. It’s way too easy to break and I REALLY hate phone cases.
Lisette says
I hear the next iPhones are coming out with Sapphire glass? Can they make it Diamond glass for to make SURE I don’t break it?!
LB @ TFO says
Why aren’t apple product chargers called apple juice???
Emily says
LOL!!!
Lisette says
YES! Genius! This should automatically make you an Apple Genius (see what I did there?)
Emily says
Ugh, Apple. Such a love/hate. Their chargers break more than any phone I’ve ever had! So frustrating!
Lisette says
Your chargers break? The base or the cord? We’ve had the actual cord break on ours :( Also, can they make them longer than 3 feet! It makes it super hard to charge your phone and tweet in bed (not that I know what that’s like!)

I once met a woman who’s name was Cherry pronounced Sh-erry. Um hello, Cherry is the correct spelling of a fruit! I guarantee she’s still being called Ch-erry today.
Mana says
I never thought about most of these, but now they will be plaguing me as I go to sleep tonight. Also you can replant your plants and use the pretty liner, then line that with plastic and then put in your plant and it will hold the water in. That’s how my grandmother always did it.

Men-children can be very frustrating. What you see is what you get, they don’t learn to be tidy. But they sure are cute and they can lift all the heavy stuff. ;)
Nina @ Flowers in my Hair says
all very good points. :)
Jessa O says
I turned 30 last year and thought it was the end of world and kinda embarrassed, but now that I am 30 about to turn 31 it’s not that bad!!
Whitney says
Well, I am married to a man-child and we just had a baby boy in March. Sooooo your post basically made me have a mini panic attack on all the major cleanups that are in my future. AHHHHHHHH my husband is SO MESSY
Lisa @ Sorority Life to Army Wife says
Charlotte is French while Caroline is the Anglicized version of the Latin Carolus. And I helped the in-laws clean out their kitchen when they got new appliances. We found a bottle of horseradish from 2011. This is nothing. I helped them move back in 2011 and found a jar of mayo from 1991. I kid you not.
Niki says
I am so with you on the iPhone glass! And I feel the same way about the fish thing, but with moose. I feel so uncomfortable writing moose and meaning the plural. Mooses. There. And I always seem to pick the most expensive thing, too. It can get pretty frustrating when I’m trying to budget!
Rachel says
You scared me with this iphone glass breaking stuff that I went and bought an otter box on amazon just now.
Holly says
My husband is a slob, he would be so mad at me for saying that, but it’s true :-) Drives. Me. Crazy! Somedays I feel like if I have to pick up his clothes off the bathroom floor one more time…
Kenzie Smith says
Along the same lines as the fish and fish ordeal, what about moose? I always call more than one moose meese in my head. I get a chuckle out of it :)
