Lists: I Really Want to Know. . . Don't You?

Drumroll, please.  Today's the first post in a new category at Southern Exposure.  If you like it I'll probably do this as often as I come up with new lists.  Because this category is ALL about lists. 

The fun part is that if you comment on this post and any other "Lists" posts this month, adding your own item to the list I've begun, you'll be entered in a giveaway for an autographed novel.   You can't enter on Facebook, or Goodreads.  You must come right here, click on comments and add your two cents worth.

Be funny, be serious, speak from the heart.  Just follow the topic.

Caution:  No politics or religion allowed.  While those may be my favorite discussions at the dinner table–going against everything my mother taught me–they are NOT appropriate for this blog and won't be accepted.  I also ask you not to be unkind.  You may think #3 below is unkind, but quite honestly, it's a real question.  I really don't know who these people are. 

So without further adieu, here's my first list.  There'll be a different topic each time. I'm already working on the next one.  Enjoy!

I Really Want to Know. . .

1–Why women in the twenty-first-century emulate their Chinese sisters of an earlier era and wear shoes that constrict and eventually reshape their feet and make moving freely more difficult.

2–Why homeowners pay for expensive gym memberships AND landscape crews to keep their yards mulched, raked, planted and mowed.

3–Who the Karadashians are and why anybody, other than their family/close friends/high school graduating classes, cares about what they do/think/wear.

4–Why fifteen states still allow texting while driving.  Of those states, why do twelve make no exception for school bus drivers.

5–Why reviewers praise novels about serial killers and disparage novels about love.

How about you?  Shall we try for a list of ten–at least?
