…why laundry loses momentum and that last load never seems to make it out of the dryer until people start missing specific items of clothing.
…how scientists who test the effects of B vitamins on mice with dementia could possibly know that the mice have dementia. Really. I’m puzzled.
…where scientists find mice with dementia for their testing. Ad in the newspaper?
…if other people imagine what they’ll say to someone they need to have a conversation with then can’t remember whether they really had that conversation or not—or is that just me?
…what it will take for my children to convince me to get another cat.
…how I used my time in the years before the internet.
…why I can’t keep my desk clean (I do believe it’s hereditary).
…whether there is some common thread in my daughter’s favorite words: demolish, noble, aquamarine, kerfuffle and palace.
…why my children often crab-walk around the house.
…why, since we don’t allow food out of the kitchen, there is a trail of crumbs going up the stairs. Hmmm. I guess I’ll have to suggest that the messy eater brush himself off before he leaves the room.
…if other people who were moved professionally still have the little moving stickers on their furniture, like we do (our last move was six years ago—you’d think we might have gotten around to taking them off by now).
…why my kids ask, “Who’s coming over?” when I start cleaning the house.

I have experienced a few of those. The question “Are we having company?” is the irritating one for me. I admit my house is not in “company condition” at all times. I am much too busy to worry about that but still I feel offended when one of the kids says that. I’m almost sure I’ve told them that but that may have been a conversation I had planned out in my head that actually never happened.
