(immediate disclaimer to this post: my flight leaving Denver last night was terribly delayed, and I didn’t get to sleep in Minnesota until about 4am. So I’m tired, and likely should get more sleep before posting. But that’s not why you come to the Internet, now is it?)
So, in my last post, when I referred to “sisters-in-law”, I was totally proud of myself for remembering that the plural of sister-in-law was not, in fact, sister-in-laws. And then I was immediately ashamed of myself because I know that they only reason I know this is because of a 5 minute scene on the Gilmore Girls in which they discuss, FOREVER, the plural of cul-de-sac being “culs-de-sac.” But then I totally boomeranged back into proud, because it’s also possible that I know this because of West Wing episode where President Bartlett schools us on the plural of Surgeon General (“Surgeons General”) and that is a way more high brow show from which to be receiving grammar lessons.
(any TV show out there want to help me with that last sentence? No?)
Anyway. TV: Making me smarter since 1987*
*1987 is when I saw a Get Smart episode featuring the “Kaos” organization and my mom took that as a teachable moment to point out to me the correct spelling: “Chaos.” The learning just never stops, people.

And this? Is why I love you.
Totally off topic, sorry, but I wanted to thank you for the comment you made on my Bodies in Motivation post about sticking to a Paleo diet when invited over for a non-Paleo dinner. We got invited over to a friend’s house for pizza, and I’m going to make the turkey casserole you suggested. Made me feel a lot less awkward to have this solution in my back pocket. So, you were very helpful!

Hilary – behind the 8 ball on my comments, but: YAY! Oh, I’m so glad that worked out. I hope they love it 🙂
Okay, grammar lessons and a Gilmore Girls reference? We are now officially friends. 🙂
Heeee. Awesome 🙂
I always think of that WW episode when I refer to my parents-in-law and the like. Gosh, the early seasons of that show were great. As were those of GG. Hooray for TV-based learning!
