20 Things I've Learned While Quarantined 1. If you have the right of way, take it. 2. You don’t get to choose your own nickname. 3. When you marry someone, remember you marry their entire family. 4. Under no circumstances should you ask a woman if she’s pregnant. 5. When giving a thank you speech, short and sweet is best. 6. Never gloat. 7. Invest in good luggage. 8. Make time for your mom on your birthday. It’s her special day, too. 9. When opening presents, no one likes a good guesser. 10. Sympathy is a crutch, never fake a limp. 11. Give credit. Take blame. 12. Don’t stare. 13. Cologne was not invented to bathe in. 14. If you’ve made your point, stop talking. 15. Admit it when you’re wrong. 16. Never answer the phone at the dinner table. 17. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. 18. Know at least one good joke. 19. Learn to drive your stick shift 20. Be a good listener. Don’t just wait for your turn to talk  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

interesting list,

There isn’t a stinker on the list! ... no small feat when avoiding ambiguity and obviousness all at once. The world needs more mentors. #8 brought a smile here, as well. This year I’ll be baking her “Thank You...” cake myself and there won’t be as many witnesses as usual, I suspect. It always comes with a verbally delivered list. “... for putting up with me, most of all at 14”, “... for not drowning me at birth (or at 14)”... They don’t make cakes big enough. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

Nice list but I have one question from a non car driving person who is not American; What does number 19 refer too?
