Good morning

Hello, members! Did someone order a slice of weekend cheer? Because it's ready to be served with a side of your favourite newsletter. 😉 How are you? I (Sethia) woke up hungrier than usual today. And I'd love to know, what's your favourite breakfast? Anyhow, let's reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle!

Which vehicle is spelled the same forwards and backwards?

And the answer is… racecar! If you got it correct, expect a shout-out below. Now, onto the ‘What Would The Grandkids Say?’ segment! Today’s slang is 4+4. It’s used as a compliment, because 4+4=8, or ‘ate’, which is slang for impressive. So you can say: ‘Your outfit is a 4+4… Because you ate!’
