Why?
Why on earth would anybody make placemats that can only be spot-cleaned? Or that, despite the label that says “washable,” come out of the ordeal looking, well, like all my old placemats? Yeah, I know, there’s always plastic, but having ditched the last Sesame Street jobber some time ago, I’ve grown rather fond of the grownups-actually-live-here-look. Except that even grownups spill food when they eat. And oddly enough, often on their placemats. So I’m guessing all those “spot clean” placemats are meant for houses where the inhabitants don’t actually eat. At least not in their own house.
Why did Ghiradelli think changing their Double Chocolate chip recipe to include more fat and less taste would improve the product?
Why did one of the kids up the street think pouring Coke in #5’s hair was a good idea?
And why did #5 wait until five minutes past his bedtime to alert me to this fact?
