Previous question: Why is the swimming pool viewing gallery so hot?

Answer: Because the temperature controller is broken. It will get progressively hotter, then colder, then hotter... much like my shower at the moment!!

My question: How long will it take for THIS thread to fill up? Grin

Why am I angry? (I know why I'm angry, but I need a wrong answer)

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 05/10/2020 13:47

Because your pet hamster stile your bacon out of you sandwich, chased the dog around the house taunting it, ten shared it with the cat. Despite the cat being vegan. And you can't cleanyour boat properly.

Why am I sitting in my car near a school again?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 05/10/2020 16:20

Because you miss being at school so much that you are hoping that the headteacher will take pity on you & allow you to re enrol so you can have the experience of your GCSE & A Level exams being cancelled & then the stress of your awarded grade being 3 levels below your CAG only to then be given your true grades of A*recurring.
Unfortunately your place at Oxford has gone but you don't care as Harvard has given you a full scholarship to study a triple major in Astrophysics, Covid & Dance Theory.
In years to come you will the Nobel Peace, Chemistry & Environment award for finding a cure for Covid & all because the government cocked it up sort of but not on purpose as we did say go to the cinema, but stay at home to be do it.

Boris has asked me to go to the cinema but I don't want to go with him as Carrie is my mate.
Who should I go with instead?

How can I prevent Alexa playing songs that are 100% swear words when the children are at home (which is what she did when DDs were at school today. It was a brilliant song..)

x2boys · 05/10/2020 19:48

If she starts playing songs with swear words put her in the naughty corner untill she stops

Why does my cooking taste better than shops?

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 05/10/2020 21:58

Because shops are made of brick and metal and plastics. None of which are edible. So your cooking had the head start of containing food.

Why are grown up things like house buying so scary?

spiderbride · 06/10/2020 00:23

Because only adults can see the murderous clowns lurking in every shadow at the Estate Agent's.

Why can't I sleep even though I barely slept last night??

Why do we say sleep like a baby when we mean slept well . waking during the night needing feeding , nappy change or just cos is not my idea of a good nights sleep

bearlyactive · 06/10/2020 07:35

Because babies get good sleep between waking up, I suppose?

Because they want to inflict earworms on us.

Why have I got the cake song from Lazytown stuck in my head?

x2boys · 06/10/2020 09:50
