I'll sing along to this.

and agree with one commenter that puppet Einstein was clearly lip-syncing . . . 

eta: interesting piece of trivia.  Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics - someone sent this to him.  He liked it.

This is like the time when I was six and gave myself an existential crisis by reading Horton Hears a Who to my sister right after my mom made a model of the solar system with dishes to explain the revolution of the earth and why NASA’s rocket launch went sideways 🚀 instead of up.

I left cornbread in the oven for 30 minutes and never turned the oven on.

My dh has been known to "choke" during the drive thru. One time he accidentally ordered more milkshakes than planned - and in the largest sizes. The kids were thrilled!

This reminds me of the time we flew back from Europe to the States, landing late at night, and my husband was starving.  The only thing open was a Drive-Thru Jack-in-the-Box (a place we never went to regularly).  Unfamiliar with the menu, my husband quickly scanned the list, and then proceeded to order the highlighted Supreme Burrito but asked if it could *not* have the beans, steak instead of chicken, extra cheese, no salsa but fresh tomatoes, etc., etc.,  After patiently listening, the drive-thru person gently replied:  "I think, sir, that you'd like the Steak Burrito".  (Which was actually $1.50 cheaper! What a nice guy!) 🙂

Can't find the original meme, but it said:

"If I had known the roaring twenties would be three weeks in June, I would have done more."

If you have an iphone you can click the right side button 3 times and it brings up a magnifier. turns your phone into a magnifying glass. 

Not that I need that, mind you.

I don't think so. I've tried that on my phone.

I did, after some thought about it, go to settings and turn the magnifier option to ON - but that just gives me the icon. If this is a possibility, it's not a default one for all iphones.

Don't think I saw this one here:

if you have an android phone - there are magnifying apps (you can even take pictures with them.)

On iPhone 8 or earlier, triple-click the home button instead of the right side button.

Yes, DH was helping me with this after I was way too excited to read about this here. LOL He found this from Apple Support. I have an iPhone X, and so when I enabled magnification, the three clicks of the right side button does the trick, but for 8 and earlier, it's the home button. Very cool feature for this old lady's eyes.

For all the kitty moms out there:

This is our 13 year old cat. We got her from the shelter when she was 3 months old and she's always been a cuddly sweetheart. Sometimes though, I just want to read my book! 😄

Me too and I'm not ashamed. 😁 I try not to post too many at once on Facebook.

Whenever someone brings up "we have to wear shoes and a shirt to go in a store", I remember (yes, I'm that old) when they first started the No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service stuff.  People were very very upset by it, particularly down at the Jersey shore.

I'll have to check that out for fun, lol. I grew up mostly barefoot, other than school and stores. And often forgot to bring shoes and ended up in many a store barefoot. I remember there was a rumor about shoes being required for driving, but I never believed it. 

I remember coming back from the beach with friends and all of us going into a convenience store barefoot to get snacks and drinks. The thought of going into one of those stores barefoot now makes me shudder but back then I never thought twice about it. We were Florida girls and we were barefoot. 

I also remember the rumor about it being illegal to drive barefoot but never found any evidence it was true. My mom used to tell me it was illegal to drive in flip flops but I knew that was just a thing she said because she hated flip flops and thought they were dangerous to wear.

Helped me avoid reading glasse for a year or two!

Yes! You don't see it now, but back then that was totally normal! Thank you for sharing this memory with me - neat that someone else had that same experience 🙂
