Things I've Learned This Week

I know they say you're supposed to learn something new every day. There are not enough brain cells left in my head to remember something new every day, though, so instead I will share what I learned this week (the stuff I remember, anyway):

When driving, do not assume you have the right of way, even when you do.

If you like to start the New Year with a clean house, it's not wise to let your 14-year-old invite friends over on New Year's Eve, then leave them alone while you go next door and drink wine until 1am. Unless your definition of a clean house includes "crumpled bags of Doritos and empty soda cans all over the living room."

If you ask nicely, someone kind like Mrs. Harridan will show you how to do links, and you can repay her by making her your first offical link.

Just because your father is smart does not mean that he will remember all of Dumbledore's great speeches (he's older than you, hence even less brain cells). Even the short, simple speeches. He also may not realize that "Tweak" is a verb, and "Nitwit" and "Blubber" are nouns.

That about sums up what I learned this week. Maybe next week I'll learn what "Oddment" means...
