Just Ask Jenn

Me: I wish you would have called me and asked me about that…I could have  told you that would happen!

Sister: I know, I should have. In fact, everyone should call you before they make any decision….

Me: I know, right?

(It sadly took me about 10 minutes to realize she was being sarcastic. However, in my defense…I was right.)

So my sister, I’ll call her Sister 1. Had a great idea when it came to the issue of control with her oldest child. The child really wanted to be the boss of something, namely the parents. So she, brilliantly came up with the idea that the child could be the boss of the cow. Now the cow, was a stuffed animal in their home that this child quite enjoyed. So the child got to boss around the cow, well, till the cows came home. The child did not, however, get to boss around the parents all day.

It worked fabulously and soon the child graduated to being the boss of several trivial things in the home. This made the child feel important and boss-like. Problem solved.

So after the above conversation with Sister 1, I got to thinking about my desire to hand out advice like candy. I would really enjoy it if people just asked my advice on a daily basis. I LOVE telling people what to do. Don’t you? You don’t? Hmmm, pretty sure I could tell you how to learn to enjoy telling people what to do. (see how I did that? yeah, I’m that good) In fact, you know the girl who offers her advice at the store when you’re deciding which item to buy? That’s me. You should have gone with the one I recommended. But you know that now, right? I thought so.

Anyway, since I don’t have a stuffed cow or a captive audience to be the boss of, I decided this website would have to do. I am going to boss around this website with all the might that I have. One day a week I am going to post some advice and show the web who’s boss. I feel like the web could benefit from my pearls of wisdom. My family is already up to their ears in my wisdom so I thought it would be super to spread the love.

From here on out I deem Tuesday’s as Just Ask Jenn Day. Starting with today, I will offer advice to no one in particular. Sounds smart, I know.

Today’s tidbit is:

You should not put large amounts of food down the garbage disposal. It doesn’t matter if the garbage disposal boasts the ability to grind up a whole pineapple. It may grind it up, but the pipes aren’t going to flush it down. Next thing you know, you’ll be paying a plumber a crapload of money to take pieces of pineapple out of the innards of your kitchen piping. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
