12 Questions You Asked As A Kid

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” - Albert Einstein


1. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

By the way, thanks to modern science, we finally answered this question. In case you're wondering, it's about 1,000 (there's no way I would have had the patience to figure this one out on my own).

2. Why can't I have sugar before noon?


3. Why do I have to go to bed at eight?

To be honest, I wish it was still socially acceptable to go to bed at eight.

4. How does the tooth fairy know when I lose a tooth?

Also, who thought it would be believable to invent some little fairy that gives you money for losing your tooth?

5. How does Santa get down the chimney?

Again, why did someone ever think this would be a genuinely believable story? Then again, I would for sure pretend to believe in Santa to get more presents this year...


6. How does Santa get in if we don't have a chimney?

Simply a great question, especially if it's coming from a four-year-old.


7. How come the Easter bunny comes even though I'm Jewish?

Who decided that there were going to be such creepy animals/figures to represent holidays?


8. How are babies made?

........

I'm never having kids, because I never want to answer this.


9. Why can't I have chocolate cake for breakfast?

Still valid.


10. Why can't I go to bed at the same time as my sister?



11. Why do I have to take a shower every day?

The only great thing about getting older is that you get to decide not to shower every day (cue the messy buns and hats).


12. The most ultimate (and unchanging) question of all: Do I have to wear pants?

God bless the invention of oversized T-shirts and Norts.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
