Good morning, members! Fancy seeing you here this fine Saturday morning! Can you taste that sweet feeling of relaxation that comes with the weekend? I (Vella) have a mission in store today: cleaning my room. It just dawned on me how different my weekend is now compared to when I was a kid. Ah, those carefree memories. How about you? Do you have any special weekend rituals or traditions? Share them with us on
our forum here. Now, let's kick things off with the answer to yesterday's riddle:
81 x 9 = 801. What must you do to make this equation true?
The answer is... Turn it upside down so you get 108 = 6 x 18. Sneaky, eh? If you managed to get this one correct, you'll find a shout-out waiting for you at the bottom of this newsletter.
Onto our next segment, 'What Would the Grandkids Say?' Today, we're decoding the word ‘adulting’. Kids use this word when they do so-called ‘grown-up’ things and take on responsibilities, like having a 9-5 job or paying rent. So, when you see your grandkid taking on more responsibilities, you can tell them they’re adulting quite well.
