Dear Kid,
I have gotten some of the Best News Ever.
No, I didn’t win the Lottery. That would be amazing considering I didn’t buy a ticket.
I got a letter. From Grandpa. And in the letter was an article from Scientific American which discussed all sorts of things some people think are true but aren’t even close to accurate. Like the Loch Ness monster doesn’t exist (except in ceramic), aliens have never visited earth (except as costumes on Halloween), and the earth is not flat (wait, seriously? People still believe that? What?).
More about people going for fiction over fact another day.
But the Best News Ever (by which I mean “the best news in the last 10 minutes”) is that the idea of having to drink 8 glasses of water every day is hokum (extra points if you get the reference).
Of course you need to get liquid, but liquid comes from all sorts of places, like food and coffee. Food and coffee—two of my favorites! This is awesome.
I think I’ll celebrate by drinking an unnecessary glass of water.
That’s 1.
Love, Mom
P. S. Thanks for the article, Grandpa!
