Reality check
Dear Robin,
Today I learned that mermaids aren’t real. Are there other things that we have grown to believe are real but actually aren’t? Any help would be appreciated before I embarrass myself in my human biology class again.
Sincerely,
Shocked about science
Hey,
That’s a tough reality to face. I remember when I discovered the same thing just a few years ago. It was a difficult mourning process. Some other things that you need to know aren’t real are dolphins, the North Pole, 12-hour lasting sunblock, submarines, and instant rice. I wish you all the best as you discover yourself and the lies of this world.
Robin
Rude awakening
Dear Robin,
Popcorn is my fave snack. I eat it constantly. But after years of blissfully shoveling it into my mouth, those little popcorn kernel bits are now getting stuck in my teeth. I have no idea how to prevent this. Any ideas?
From,
Crunching for answers
Hello,
This is a real problem. After you’ve started a social media campaign to raise awareness of this pressing issue (#kernelkare), I would purchase dental floss and keep that on you at all times. If you can’t afford dental floss at this time, take two or three hairs from your head, pull them out, and use them in place of dental floss. The latter option may be better than dental floss because you’ll never forget to bring your hair with you when you’re eating popcorn, and I’m pretty sure hair is biodegradable. Happy munching!
Robin
