Good morning

Good morning to the young-at-heart members of this lovely forum! 😉 I (Sethia) hope your weekend is moving at the right pace. I’m spending mine getting plenty of rest, as it was a busy week! But I’m not complaining, as it only means exciting things ahead of us. Now, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle, shall we?

Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die. What am I?

And the answer is… fire! If you got it correct, you’ll get a shout-out below. For today’s ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment, we’re decoding the term ‘coquette’. Coquette is a romantic fashion style that involves frills, lace, bows, hearts, and ribbons! So, are you a fan of the coquette aesthetic? 🎀
