how does that happen?

There are great mysteries in life to me. Such as the mini ice cream treats that Jared and I bought at the store yesterday. One ice cream treat is advertised as having 90 calories. But, two ice cream treats is advertised as having 190 calories. Where did the extra 10 calories come from? I thought maybe they couldn't count until I started checking other boxes. Same with the blueberry eggo waffles. An extra ten calories thrown in for a two waffle morning. Strange.

The other thing that is baffling me lately is adulthood. The better word might be overwhelming me. I remember the afternoons when Dad brought in the mail, sorted it, and left me the letter from my pen pal. That was all I had to worry about mail-wise. I also remember the fact that things sort of just appeared. Like groceries and toilet paper and light bulbs. It was magical. I remember that other things sort of just disappeared. Like the trash and the box of stuff for goodwill and the dirty kitty litter. Don't get me wrong, I had chores. It was just that Mom and Dad had a lot more chores than I did. I've thought about giving myself an allowance nowadays, but it's so not as cool when the money comes out of my own paycheck. Maybe I'll take it out of Jared's paycheck and he can take his out of mine. Perfect.
