Why Reading is Important

When it's in the middle of the night and you're so very tired and just want to find the bottle with the blue label ...

Thankfully I caught that one before it was too late.  Really - what were their designers thinking?  I'm guessing someone was having a good laugh.

This one I didn't catch.  So I asked my son to get me a jar of chicken for chicken and dumplings.  He brings it up from the basement for me and I dump the juice in - of course it adds so much yumminess!  Then I start to flake the chicken into the pot only it doesn't quite look like chicken.  Thankfully none of the actual meat got into the pot - but the juice sure is potent.  And it was the big pot.  The one that even with teenagers who'll gobble this stuff up there is sure to be leftovers for at least 4 days.  It may be longer this time.

What was suppose to get used - the unlabeled chicken on the right.  What got used?  The steel-head juice.

This morning my daughter and I were talking and the topic of voice mail (not an answering machine) greetings came up.  I mentioned how our home phone has a generic nice, more professional greeting and how my cell phone has a fun, more personal greeting - which starts as "Heeellllllooooooooo!"  I explained how it came from a Seinfeld episode years ago.  Her response, "Mom, nobody knows what that is."

Then last night, she was going through a box of books my mother-in-law gave us, which includes some books on CD and some on tape.  She found a few of the latter that sounded interesting to her and came to me asking, "Mom, what is a c-a-s-s-e-t-t-e?"  My husband overhearing this tells her it is a "cass-ette" and starts laughing.  After that dies down, she wants to know how to use one.  I tell her there is a tape player in the garage.  Mentioning a tape player - that brings up a whole new round of questions, haha.  For the next 10 minutes she was in the garage trying to figure out how to work "the old dinosaur" while Dustin and I laughed.
