​We are always amused by the questions that friends’ children come up with, but it doesn’t necessarily stop once you are a so-called grown up; so I’m setting free some of the many questions in my head.  Less Star Wars and dinosaur related, more actual honest to truth life quandaries.

– Should I tape over the camera on my laptop?
– Why do we hate the sound of our own voice?
– Does everyone have a better side?
– How do you avoid touching strangers when you’re trapped in the middle seat?
– After how long is it appropriate to wake people up to go to the airplane loo?
– Are we supposed to check the life jacket is actually under our seat?
– Is it bad for my ear or neck to sleep on earrings?
– How do you deal with a snoring neighbour?
– If everything else is portion size, why isn’t cheese or saussison?
– How long should you be able to keep a poinsettia alive?
– How do you prevent candles from burning down the middle and leaving the edges?
– Why does my new washing machine have a three hour cycle and no one hour alternative?
– Is it cringey to check the amount of currency the bank gives you when they’ve just done a song and dance of counting it in front of you?
– Is it a better use of time to apply shower gel whilst one’s conditioner is in, versus the conventional shower gel, shampoo, conditioner routine?
– Why am I 30lbs heavier than everyone else I know who is also 5’6″ and a size ten?

– If you wake up at 2am and play Candy Crush until it’s time to get up for work, where do you seek help?
