Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Saturday Edition | AM

Good morning

Good morning, SDC family, and welcome to Saturday! I (Blue) am thrilled to be kicking off the weekend with all of you. This week has been eventful for me. I just got my first car! It’s not a supercar, though; just enough to take me from point A to B. It made me wonder: how did you get your first car? I’d like to read your stories here! But before we get lost on our nostalgia trip, let’s answer yesterday’s riddle first, shall we?

Which word in the dictionary is always spelled incorrectly?

The correct answer is… ‘incorrectly’! If you got it correct, you’ll find your name in the shout-out below! Up next is the 'What Would the Grandkids Say?' segment. Today’s term is ‘vibe check’. It means 'to assess the feel of a certain situation'. For example, if you walked into a room after a heated debate, you might say, ‘I’m just going to have a vibe check to see how everyone is.’ Say it to your grandkids and see how they react.
