In the
past year I have learned some new things…that honestly I did not know!#1. The cabinet of drawers in your bedroom are called “chest of drawers”…not cheshir
e drawers. My entire life I always thought they were cheshire drawers and I always wondered why they would name a piece of furniture after a cat. And anytime I would hear cheshire drawers…I would immediately think of the cat from Alice in Wonderland. Speaking of Alice in Wonderland…I thought it was a bizarre movie when I was a child– did you like it?#2. I learned something from a McDonald’s commercial recently. I thought when you were hungry you had “hunger pains”…but I learned from the commercial nonetheless…it is hunger pangs. By the way I looked up the definition of pang and the dictionary said…a sudden feeling of distress or pain. So why couldn’t you say hunger pains…is not the same thing??

Here ya go….here’s a good one I learned yesterday! The past few months my Avalanche has had a knocking sound every time I would start it up. I finally took it to the shop yesterday and they said my catalytic converter needed replaced. (Side note – it was still under warranty – no cost –PTL!!){I remember being a child and the catalytic converter went out on our Oldsmobile when we were on our way home from Disney World and we had to stay the night in a strange little town for a few days.} Anywa
y…I thought from a very young age that a “catalytic converter” was called a cadillac converter! When the repairman told me I needed a new catalytic converter…I asked my Dad why did they name this part after a cadillac?? Of course Dad laughed at me and said it was a catalytic…not a cadillac. Hmmm…you learn something new everyday!Hope you found some humor in this. And just for the record I apparently stink in math also. Leelee had a math problem on her blog that I KNEW I had right….and I was really wrong!
