11:11 Wishes

A few weeks ago, I got into a debate with a friend of mine regarding the validity of “11:11 wishes”. For those of you not in the know, it’s become fairly popular to make wishes at specifically 11:11 (AM or PM). If you’re on Twitter, you’re probably following at least one person who tweets about. The question is: Is there a point to all this wishing?

Idiotic Logic: Mother/Father & Child

Ladies & gents, I ‘d like to present the final installment of this trilogy, for now. Be warned, this part is less "Return of the Jedi" & more "The Godfather III".

Mother/Father: Starting at the back end of the words, we see "ther" which likely refers to the claim that they will always be there for you. "Mo" & "fa" would then have to represent the fact that they would (or should) be willing to do more & go farther more you, respectively, than anyone else in your life. However, that probably changes around the time they start to consider charging you for rent.

Child: This was a mission, but I decided that this would best be explained with an acronym. Therefore, my idea was: Covenants of Heaven In Life… Delivered. I know, that’s pretty deep, right?

Idiotic Logic: Wife

If you missed the first entry in this series, please do check out the previous post. It won’t increase your IQ, but it’ll certainly help you waste time. Anyways… 

Wife: As any man knows as he enters a marriage with a woman, there may be a good chance that he’ll be there for a while. In fact, one might say that he’d be with her for life. Note the words “with” and “life”. Now if you were to combine the two & use the result as a title for someone, you’d be able to understand the origin of the word “wife”. I’m assuming the less popular term “lith” just failed to catch on with the public.

Idiotic Logic: Husband

In between debating compressible liquids with my buddy Confucius, aka “She’s still not on Twitter”,I was asked about the origin of certain words. Now while it would be easier to use the web to decipher the origins of the given words, I figured that this would be a fantastic time to exercise a skill that I haven’t exercised in a bit: “Idiotic Logic” (which is by far the best type of logic). So without further ado:Husband: I’m imagining a “Sex in the City” brunch-type scene taking place way back when in the days of Yore. One woman strolls up wearing a new ring, while the rest are asking “Who’s band is that?” Obviously, the blushing bride is bound to brag & be like “This is his band” pointing to her significant other. From there the others, caring more about the jewelry than about the dudes name, probably just addressed him as the “His band” which over time must’ve evolved to the “Husband” in an effort to demphasize the importance of material possessions in a relationship.
