We're All Guilty of It.. (24)
I think we are just seeking verbal confirmation.
But yes these things do seem really silly.
I think as you said also, we think out loud sometimes.

Hi Zarah 
always makes me smile when you are in the doctors surgery, see someone you know and ask how they are . Everytime i have done this the relpy has been ' i'm fine thanks' just makes me smile !

Miss Z, if I am puking loudly, please ask me if I am OK, If I start puking blood, please call 911 for me. If I call you on your cell, I don't know if you are really home or not. If i see you in line looking impatient, maybe you are debating whether to call your husband or 911???...We do things all the time that don't make sense, that is why we are what we are...

Ha that is so very true...I ask people when at work at the hospital..how are you today..which to me seems silly of me to ask them in the first place! They do nearly always reply well thank-you...perhaps we are all just polite???

Yeah like when someone says "I like that" and you say "You like that, don't you?"
Or when you were a kid playing in the tree and your mother says "If you fall out of that tree and break your legs, don't come running to me!" LOL I always loved when my mom said that, because she meant it and was serious.
Anyways, we do that because those are the people who like to be assured and assure things. Sometimes for conversation as an excuse to keep communication going or to start a conversation. We also do it to comment. Either way, it is assurance.

My mother used to always say..'Dont go in the deep end or you will drown!' Well she put the fear of God in me so much I was too scared to ever learn to swim! Positive parenting???

Zarah: When we ask something really dumber than dumb...
Someone vomiting loudly and you ask...are you o.k.?
When you call your husband at home and ask...Are you at home?
When someone is standing in line looking impatient and you ask...Are you being served yet?
Why do we do this...do we have a moment of mind slip or are we simply thinking out loud?

Or when you get to the checkout and the cashier ask you.. Is that all today...I feel like telling her......." no thats only half of my list- hold my spot"

Once at McDonalds drive thru.. I placed my order and when I was finished , I said very clearly " That.. is..all"( because I knew they always ask) and she still ask me- "would you like a hot apple pie with that ?"
so when she told me the total.. I kept asking her over and over HOW MUCH... WHAT...CAN YOU REPEAT THAT... HOW MUCH????????

In my life I have never ever seen anyone trip on something that did not look back to see what it was they tripped on, including myself, maybe it is just a human error we all have in common

It is a bit bizarre, isn't it?? I mean, I have always wondered about "I've got something in my eye".... like, they've only got the ONE eye?? Surely, its correct to say "I've got something in one of my eyes"??
"I've hurt my leg".... again, just the ONE leg then??
Nahhh..... clearly its late, I'm off to bed!!
Nighty night, y'all....
