Its much easier to wipe after a dump with a wet wipe.

...I taught myself this after my son was born. A pack of wipes for him. A pack of wipes for me.

Reading the mile markers coinciding with exit numbers made me think of one I found out a few years back. If you look at the position of the exit sign on it's structure, it will tell you which side the exit will be on. I guess there are so few left exits here I never noticed.

As one of I'm sure few female poster on these threads, I'm a dental assistant. I'm amazed at how many grown folks do not know how to properly brush their teeth!

One time, this football team was playing for the National title. They had an undefeated season and went through one of the hardest schedules imagineable. The entire Championship game, the coach didn't know he had a backup QB!!! I am pretty sure everyone in the dome tried to tell him but he didn't hear.

Had someone ask me if I knew which day of the week Thanksgiving fell on this year.


Guy legitimately thought it was just a coincidence it had been on a Thursday for the "last few years".





Also, people who think that Africa is a country.

A few years ago I had to correct a full grown man who thought pickles grew on trees. My kids still get a laugh out of that story.











Wait. What?

My mother broke her tv remote. I told my brother to go to Wal Mart and buy a universal remote and
program it for her. Texted me back after and said he and my mother were amazed that there were such things and how easy it was to program. My mom's 89 and he's 56.

It's best not to correct them. It makes them feel stupid and they won't like you anymore.

You need to read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

Heading to that game we all loaded up in the elevator with a few cute girl Bama fans. They said "we partied with yalls quarterback all night last night!" I didn't believe them until I left the game in the third quarter. #bandwagon

Street numericals do the same. In BR it's always smallest starts at the river and goes bigger as you go out. Odds are on one side even on the other.

I learned that there are a lot of adults that need to pay attention to their surroundings. I learned most of this shite when I was 12 or younger.

I must admit, I didn't know that there was an arrow on the fuel gauge on most cars that tells you which side of the car to fill it with until recently.


Holds head in shame for not knowing this. Yes, I went and looked.

What's weird is I passed 8th grade earth science with As & Bs. And I read Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything about 7-8 years ago. Maybe mom brain isn't just a myth.

When I was about 10 years old a friend of mine and I were at a gas station with my Mom. He didn't know how to put gas in a car.

That's not always true. I've been in a couple cars that it was wrong.


if the car doesnt have an arrow then its the side of the pump icon the handle is on.
