At the age of 28 I realized that parchment paper has a right way and wrong way of being placed in a cookie sheet pan, so I don't need to fight with the edges to curl downwards.

You never learned this song? How else would you calculate ahead?

30 Days has September, April, June, & November
All the rest have 31
Except for February which has 28
And 29 in a leap year.

When I would say “so?” My father always answered in jest with “buttons”
Or I would ask “why” he would say “z”
Took me years to figure it out 😂

I was today years old when I learned that people feel dumb when being made aware of information that they didn't know previously.

There was a thread about this once, but I found out in middle age I belonged to the group of people who always thought the word misled was pronounced as "mysoold" and not "missledd".
