1. Jägermeister. And that right there is a complete sentence. Damn.
2. Taking French in high school. Seriously? I couldn’t choose something a little more useful than French?
3. That time we went to a Broadway show and I thought yeah, I can tolerate these high heels for three hours. Only to require a piggyback ride to our car later that evening.
4. The time I voted for a Republican. Please don’t ask.
5. Chopping my hair off nape short in middle school.
6. Plus any and all attempts at bangs with unruly curly hair. Unbelievably, there was more than one.
7. That time I forgot to reapply sunscreen while swimming for an entire afternoon in the Bahamas. It’s safe to say I didn’t fully comprehend sunburn before that night.
8. Leaving the top down on a convertible while we saw a movie. Indoors, cut off from the outside world, for more than two hours? Without checking the freaking weather report?? Unthinkable.
9. Heading to an all day outdoor event without preloading allergy medicine.
10. Deciding my precious time was so limited that I needed to get both my covid booster and flu shot on the same day despite a history of reactions to each. BLESS IT.
Riddle from the Middle 
I can relate to many of these. Took French for three years in HS because I loved it. Such a beautiful language. Maybe one day, I’ll learn Spanish. I HATE high heels and haven’t worn them in years. Being a redhead, I had horrid blistery sunburns in my teens. wanting so badly to be tan. Voted republican in my early twenties because I didn’t know any better. Now we know. Experience is the best teacher.

Yes indeed, experience has taught me things better than any classroom lecture did. I’ve started a self-study for Spanish twice now and just keep getting derailed. 🤷🏻♀️

I imagine you’ve at least gotten some Spanish basics from those starts.

I’ve struggled with French fur years, it’s like a foreign language to me.

I took four years of French in high school. It paid off when in my senior year in college the graduation requirements for my new major required one year of language. I took French 101, 102, and 103 in the same term. Of course, the prerequisites didn’t allow that and I got caught. A few minutes of explanation in French to the French professor allowed me to continue. B’s in 102 and 103. Got a C in 101 but did graduate.

Now that’s a creative solution to jumping through higher academia hoops. And I’m impressed — I never reached that level of being fluid in any second language I studied!

Don’t ask me now. (60 years later) I tried to speak French when I was in France in the 90s. Mostly all I got was eh?

I took French in high school, too. In hindsight, I should have gone with Spanish.
I also voted Republican once. It was Gerald Ford in 1976 because I wasn’t a fan of Jimmy Carter. I also voted for a third party candidate, John Anderson, in 1980 because I couldn’t bring myself to vote for either Jimmy Carter (for reelection) or for Ronald Reagan.

It falls under I made the best decision knowing what I did at the time but it’s one of those things that irks me since I don’t know if I’d do it again. And yes, Spanish would have been infinitely more useful!
