Life is Full of Little Epiphanies

Life is full of epiphanies, but this time I really felt stupid. Sitting in a car full of girlfriends the other night, we got on the random subject of food, nutricious food. Hm. :) Rebekah commented, "That's like when my parents use to tell me that I had to eat the crust of the bread because it was the most nutricious part. Ha ha!"

"Wait," I said suddenly. "You mean, it's not??"

Of course everyone began laughing. It's not more nutricious because the crust contains the same as what's in the middle, it's just more baked. Duh!!

"I guess I just never really thought about it. I mean, after hearing it all those years growing up, I never really thought to doubt it . . ."

"That's okay," Rebekah replied. "Phoebe thought the same thing until just recently when I told her."

Fhew . . . At least I'm not the only one who still has those little epiphanies.
