Why is snapchat so popular? Seems like it was made for creepy people that want to send creepy pics. If its not creepy, why not just text it like we did in the good ol days?

There's a reason it's nickname is Snatchchat.

when you get an itch, what causes that and why?

Answer for a five year-old : You itch when the nerve cells in your skin are upset, and they need a hug. So they send a signal to the brain, and the brain causes your skin to itch so that you know something is upsetting your body. You then "hug" those nerve cells by scratching your skin where it itches. Scratching is a way to make what's bothering your nerve cells - like dust or a bug bite - forget about what's bothering them. They then let the brain know that they have calmed down, and the itching stops.

This happened in the barn years ago. My youngest son asked the question and my oldest boy answered.....

"Daddy, why do we pull them yucky things outta somma the baby pigs butts?

"Baby pigs are like baby cherries Joe, when they grow up we're gonna eat um, and we're just being smart and pulling the pits out now when they're easier to hang on to"

If you don't listen to mum and don't take a proper bath, if you don't wash off your dirty hand and feet after you play in the field with Jess, you will get those little bugs crawling on your skin and bite you and then you will get the itch - well, pretty much this is what I tell my little one when she gets the itching But she is only 3 and a half yo.

This reminds me of why I don't watch Diane Sawyer.

It's like I'm in kindergarten and she's the teacher talking to me in overly expressive ways to make sure I not only understand what she's saying, but that I understand the seriousness of what she's saying.

I think the bigger question is: why does an itch keep moving?! It seems you scratch the spot and then it just moves somewhere else until you end up spending a full five minutes chasing the itch around!
