Lap top is in the shop, and I didn't know I could only access this part of blog from this screen name. Sigh. I want my lap top back. At least I figured it out today.
It’s interesting to think of the
small ways others have touched our lives. They teach us lifelong habits. A few
of mine are below. As you can tell, my brother Bob taught me a lot. The
important, serious things I’ve learned along the way belong on a different
post.
Bob taught me: The correct way to
eat an apple is to circle around the middle first, then eat the top and bottom
parts. When you butter toast, be sure to cover every crumb to the crust. The
best way to get every bit of corn on the cob is to lift the kernels out one row
at a time with your bottom teeth. (I don’t do that anymore because it takes too
much time.) I didn’t realize until this year when we visited him I also learned
how to eat a sandwich—crust first. That gets rid of the crust then you can eat
what he calls “dessert” or the middle with all of the goodness and without the
crust.
This isn’t just about my brother;
I learned habits from others as well:
I remember having lunch with some
high school friends when they insisted I try ketchup on my French fries.
I learned to be cynical about
commercials from a high school friend.
I now only use ½ of a can of
water when warming up canned condensed soup (more flavor). I learned that when
going to junior college at institute of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints.
I won’t bore you with any more.
I’ll bet you can think of people who have influenced you in small ways.
