Human nature is weird

If you read my last post, even though it was rather lengthy, you will know that Annie and her Dad built a mini guillotine. My observations are that people are strange. Okay, it's a guillotine, everyone knows what that is and what it was used for right? So WHY does one look at it, put their finger in it and say, "Will this cut my finger off?" or "Will this hurt?" DUH.... even though the blade isn't very sharp and neither is is weighted it will hurt when it hits the bone. I've observed that everyone places their finger in it in such a way that their knuckle is right where the metal piece will hit! What is it about this that is so fascinating and complicated when it's really a no-brainer?
Now before you say, "You really shouldn't have made this to begin with." Think about it, this concept is right up there with a few people standing outside and it starts to rain. One brilliant person states, "it's raining" and all the others, even though they can see it raining, stick their hands out! One of my favorites is when vacuuming and you run across a thread on the carpet that won't come up. You go over it a few times before picking it up and then after checking it out drop it back on the floor, in a sense ordering the vacuum to pick it up! Yes, I'm guilty of this too.

This starts at a very young age too. Kids. Inevitably in the church nursery you have to change a diaper. You have the baby on the changing table and realize you're surrounded by toddler munchkins. You open the diaper, holding your breath, and hear "eeeewwww, gross, eewwww" .
Yes, it is rather unpleasant BUT they stay there! You don't have a choice but they can walk away.

We are a strange bunch aren't we?
