Some Random Stuff...Just Because

My brain has been consumed for the past week or so about something...I'm hoping that maybe someone who reads this blog could shed some light on it.

What does the phrase, "How come?", mean???

Honestly. 

What does it mean?

"Do you want to go to the store with me?", I asked.

"No.", Tanner said.

"How come?", I respond.

Ok, so I know some of you will be bothered by the punctuation in those sentences, but you catch my drift, right?

How. Come. 

Two little words with a question mark at the end.

I don't get it.  Where did it originate? 

Anyway...

On another note.  I got a phone call yesterday. 

The caller ID said "US CAPITOL".

I have to admit that I had a quick twinge of panic.  I don't know why.  Weird, I know.

It turns out that Kevin had emailed Arizona Senator, Jon Kyl, and he was just calling Kevin back to discuss the email.

Who knew that Senators (or their helpers) actually read their email?

Not me!

And, last but not least, I got a love note from Tater Bug yesterday.  It made my day!
