Good morning!
Again, I have to thank Facebook for this week's prompt. A couple of y'all may already be familiar with The Hartsocks' Photography page? She -- a divorced mother of 5 -- meets a handsome detective. In short order they fall in love, marry and have 4 more babies of their own. (An only child, I've always been super attracted to large families.)
Narrated by mom Lindsay, their posts are almost always entertaining. Filled with G-rated -- no, make that PG* -- anecdotes and photos -- I keep waiting for Hollywood to sit up and realize, there's would be a great post-Brady "Brady Bunch."

Anyway! The other day, Lindsay asked readers, "What are some simple things that you should have known, but didn't?" To illustrate, she admitted becoming alarmed by the flashing "E" on the car's dashboard. Despite the gas gauge showing full, she feared they were going to run out of gas. ("No, because you're driving East.")
One comment in particular cracked me up: "I thought the wind chill factor was windshield factor and believed that was the temperature on the windshield."
Reflecting, I've little room to laugh. Other than the red-onion-purple-onion business …
Many years ago I returned from the supermarket feeling pretty darn smug for finding steaks with "no white in them!"
How about you?
What are some simple things that you (or someone you know) should have known ….. but didn't?
What do you say ….. let's share a laugh at our own expense!
Huggers,
Myra
* See what I mean about 'PG'? This made me laugh out-loud!

Duke took their girlie sister game as a personal attack and really, really wanted to "dance" with them, too. But Lyla kept telling him over and over again, "you're not even dressed! You have to put some clothes on if you want to spin with us! YOU'RE ONLY WEARING YOUR PENIS!" 🤣😪
