Common Sense

It seems to me that common sense is becoming a thing of the past. We live in a society where we have to make sure everything is "pc" and triple labeled so that the idiots of our country can't sue the makers of items. News Flash: cigarettes cause cancer, wearing black at night makes you more likely to be hit by a car, and anything "fresh out the oven" is hot.

Please, don't think I'm being all righteous here. The name of the blog IS forgotten revelations. I have been duh-ing myself all week about little common sense things. The big one this week- dishes. Don't laugh at me too long for this one...

Now, anyone who knows me will tell you I absolutely hate doing dishes. I'll scrub the bathroom fifteen times before I'll be excited about cleaning a single fork. Silverware are the worst! But despite my dislike for said chore, occassionally it falls on me to clean up the kitchen. So a couple of days ago I walk into the kitchen to grab a quick bite and there is no clean silverware. I start the mumbling and then this wave of common sense hits me. While I did wash the dishes the night before, why would there be clean silverware if I didn't wash it? Aren't silverware part of the dishes?? All of a sudden I realized I wasn't upset about the fact that my brother doesn't do the dishes- I was upset that I had skipped a step and lost common sense for a moment. So I was mumbling at myself! LOL

And that is why I love this blog... It's helping me notice things like momentary lapses in common sense. And honestly isn't that all these post have been about? Something seemingly so small and duh-ish but bam it hits me like a mac truck at the randomist of moments. May you have a little more common sense and remember to wash the silverware with the rest of the dishes!
