bizarre

This weekend Bobby and I were shopping at Target, and were comparing two different sizes of the same washing powders. (Do we still call them powders if it's a liquid?) One container says 120 oz, 35 washing loads. The larger container on the shelf below it says, 145oz, 38 washing loads. Maybe I'm crazy, maybe the designer at the printing company didn't bother to track someone down to verify their facts, maybe that truly is accurate, but why on earth would 25 ounces of detergent only produce 3 more loads of clothes while filling up a bottle twice the size and costing almost twice as much? Am I missing something somewhere?

he was fine! Bobby enjoyed it, though he said when Jacob started singing he wasn't sure what to do for a minute. He finally decided it was a great song, Jacob has great voice, he's worshipping, let 'em at it! David Bratten commented how great a voice Jacob has, too!
I asked Jacob after church if Mr. Bobby had behaved himself, and Jacob looked down real quick, and said,"YES!"

Even though you get more ounces with the bigger bottle the person who made the labels had enough foresight to know you would spill half the bottle before it was all used.

Wait...it's almost March?!?
