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

Saturday Edition | AM

Good morning

Members, it’s Saturday—the perfect day to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life! Are you enjoying a tasty breakfast or already planning out today's agenda? I (Sethia) am enjoying a day out with the lovely SDC team! Nothing beats spending time with people you love, eh? Now, let’s answer yesterday’s riddle:

I add lots of flavour and have many layers, but if you get too close, I’ll make you cry. What am I?

The correct answer is… onion! If you got it correct, expect a shout-out below. Now, onto the ‘What Would The Grandkids Say?’ segment! Today’s term is ‘ludacris’, the name of an award-winning rapper. People often confused it with the term ‘ludicrous’ until his name became slang for something—well, ludicrous! 😉
