Ask Brittany!

Sometimes as a blogger I feel as though I have let you down. I spend SO much time posting on my precious family that I neglect your need to discuss important, taxing issues at hand.

For that I m sorry.
Please forgive me.

My husband came up with the idea of me devoting one day a week to said issue.
Would you like that?!

That brings me to this week’s topic. It was brought to my attention after I noticed Sam whacking his knee with the remote control. He then precedes to ask,

“Why do you think we have a reflex when our knee is hit?”

Hmm….

Now science would like to cloud your brains with nonsense such as:

“The purpose of the reflex itself is that if a sudden weight is dropped on you, the buckling of your knees would stretch your thigh muscles, automatically causing the muscles to contract harder via the spinal reflex. Thus, whenever the muscle is suddenly loaded, it reflexively contracts to support that load, so you don’t collapse. Which, when you think about it, is quite useful for walking, Every time you put weight on your foot, your muscles contract to support you. Without spinal reflexes, you would have to consciously think about working your muscles to take each and every step, but the muscles would react too late to be of any use.” (via)

But I’d like to pose 3 more logical explanations.

Are you ready for this greatness??

We’ll count down to the best answer of all!

**I feel like David Letterman here. Yep, me and good ‘ole Dave (I can call him that because we’re friends) saving the world, one countdown at a time.**

3. In case someone is “all up on your grill” aka your knee, your body has a built in defensive system. BOOM. Your leg kicks the attacker and he is OUT. OF. THERE!

2. When you need to look down and check out your shoes, you know to make sure they’re cute…or to make certain they match, you don’t have time to waste and bend over to check. No sir-re Bob. Instead, just tap the knee and poof, your leg will rise and you can make sure all is well south of the knee cap.

1. It’s a prominent gang sign. Mostly used by cocky, well paid doctors. But the faster you can “chunk the deuce” and give a double kick, the higher and more prestigious you are in said gang. You can easily spot members, because the tote around a stick triangle. Oh, they will have a fancy name for it, but rest assured…it is merely only a stick triangle.

Don’t you agree?! These are more plausible options. Quite frankly I am disgusted with the lack of knowledge from people we PAY to know these things. So you see it’s rather simple actually. There is no need to spend hours looking these things up online, waiting at the doctor’s office, or asking so called “professionals”. Nope, just head over this little blog and simply ASK BRITTANY.
