    I’ve always considered myself quite intelligent. However, it only recently occurred to me, at 40 years old, that Mary Poppins was singing about mixing a spoonful of sugar INTO the medicine, and that children in those days weren’t being fed sugar by the spoonful to take away the bad taste.

    Now I am questioning everything else that I think I know.

    I just had to verbalise this somewhere.

      I understand. This is just like the other week when a pigeon had pooped on me, and I shaked my fist at it.

      Then fantasised about purchasing a jetpack, and seeing how it liked it.

      I had to to tell someone else to verbalise it. Sadly, she wasn’t as understanding.
