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

Saturday Edition | AM

Good morning

Good morning, members! 🌞 It's Saturday, and I (Sethia) am beaming with enthusiasm. How’s everyone doing on this fine weekend? I’ve got the kettle on and I’m ready for a cosy chat—are you? Let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle, then!

My buddies and I were inseparable mates until, one by one, we were split. My teacher then gave me a smack on the head so off in the corner I sit. What am I?

And the answer is… a staple! If you got it correct, expect a shout-out below. Now, onto the ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ segment. Today’s phrase is ‘let him/her cook’, which means letting someone do their thing. For example, ‘He starts slow, but let him cook! He’s actually pretty smart.’
