Here are a few mini-lessons* I learned this week:
Just because the weather during the workweek is great, it does not mean that you can make plans to garden or plant flowers on the weekend. Mother Nature may very well decide to rain on your flower parade, as she possesses a sick sense of humor.
When you’re finally having a decent hair day and you actually care what it looks like because you need to make a good impression, torrential rains will plaster your hair to your head, destroying any chance of looking well groomed or civilized.
Just because this smells like Kool-Aid, does not mean it tastes like Kool-Aid. In fact, it most definitely does not taste like Kool-Aid.
Speaking of Kool-Aid, when meeting someone that goes by the nick-name Kool-Aid, it is probably not a good idea to ask them what flavor they are.** After all, you are in fact messing with Kool-Aid and you really don’t know the flavor or if you can handle it!
When fueling a vehicle for the second time ever, it’s probably a good idea to review which side of the vehicle the gas tank resides on, especially if it differs from your previous vehicles. Otherwise it might appear a little strange when you play musical gas pumps and circle the gas station several times.
* The “lessons” mentioned on this site are a play on the site’s name, The Lesson Learned. Now, while I believe that the best and most lasting lessons in life are learned the old-fashioned, hard way, I do not hold the misconception that I am qualified to “teach” anything. So, while the lesson learned theme is used from time to time, it is most certainly done so tongue-in-cheek.
**Earlier today, I did, indeed, meet someone that went by the name “Kool-Aid.” He is known as Kool-Aid because of the colorful tattoos that cover most of the normally visible areas of his body.
