Saturday Edition
Good morning members, and welcome to another beautiful Saturday! We hope you all have exciting plans for the weekend ahead–whether it’s spending time with family and friends, taking the grandkids out for a day of fun, or just relaxing at home with a good book. No matter what you’re up to, we hope you have a great day! As for us, we have a lot of fun things in store for you today, so make sure you settle in with a cuppa and a bikkie (or two) and let’s get into the swing of things.
To start things off, let’s take a look at the answer to yesterday’s riddle. In case you need a refresher, here it is again:
With pointed fangs, I sit and wait; with piercing force, I crunch out fate, grabbing victims, proclaiming might, physically joining with a single bite. What am I?
Did you get it? The answer is a stapler! We know, we were surprised too. But if you think about it, a stapler has pointed fangs, crunches out fate with its piercing force, and joins things together with a single bite. If you got this one right, make sure to check the bottom of this newsletter–you’ll find a shoutout just for you!
Now, onto our next segment, ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ Today, we’re looking at the term 'say less'. Say less indicates that you understand what the other person is saying and don’t need further explanation. It can also be used to show that you agree with the other person. If someone says ‘I’m so tired,’ you can reply with ‘say less’ to show that you understand how they’re feeling. So next time your grandkids tell you about a problem and understand what they’re going through, you can say ‘say less’ and see how they react.
Oh, and one last thing before we get into the news, we wanted to let you know about today’s Aldi Special Buys! There are some great deals on kitchen appliances, so make sure you take a look!
