Skillz
Evren, earlier today, when we both happened to be using scissors at the same time:
“Mom. Your cutting skills are much better than mine.”
I Had a Similar Conversation Yesterday
Passionate man: You have to be able to voice your own opinion! Stand up for yourself! You’re the CFO of a four billion dollar company — you have to be able to make these kinds of decisions!
Lady with him, totally baffled: I was just so overwhelmed — I’ve never seen so many different kinds of rice pudding…!

Real Age Quiz
According to this quiz, my real age is 23.3 and my expected life span is 83.7. Clearly things are a little skewed, as other real age quizes I’ve taken haven’t been this low. But, since I like the results of this one the best, I’ll make the bold claim that this test is the most factual.
And, (for those who know me), no, the only question wasn’t “How old have you been behaving lately?” Heh.
The average life span of a woman (based on some research I suppose) is 74, according to this site. So an extra 10 years in the nursing home is fine with me.
My biological age is 33. And I’m challenging my new friend Sarah, who claims to be 29, to take this test. And everyone else too! Tell me your results in the comments.
Watching
I really enjoyed this movie.
Yeah, ok, I know they didn’t get all their facts straight (according to some smarty-pants reveiwers over at Netflix) but the movie itself was moving and beautiful. And every once in awhile we need a reminder of how lucky we are.
