Small things 2 April


  • Teachers in the 1980s: "You're not always going to have a calculator in your pocket."
  • We had streaming video when I was young. Wireless too. But someone named TV Guide got to pick what we could watch, and they ran out of content at midnight. 
  • Back in the day, we used to have to find a pay phone to take selfies...
  • The YMCA dance would be a challenge to do in Chinese
  • Is a hot dog a sandwich?
  • Is cereal a soup?
  • Nappetizer: the little nap you take on the couch before going to bed.
  • Contractions function almost identically to the full two-word phrase, but are only appropriate in some places in a sentence. It's one of the weird quirks of this language we've.
  • Irony: When a boss asks you to stop telling people you get your clothes at thrift stores, because it sounds like you don't get paid enough. And you also don't get paid enough.
  • Wealth is getting whatever you want at the grocery store.
  • You can stress any word in the sentence "I never said she stole my money" to change its meaning.
