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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
