can i have some of your TOTs?

when i was little, my grandFATHER would ask me
"what did you learn today at school?"
I thought it was so annoying that he would ask me this.
like i know!?

i am a senior at university.
a good school at that
i even get reasonable grades, yet today, right now, i am having an epipha-what-y. (name that movie...LACEY!)

we learn so much every single day. there should never be a day when we cannot remember something that we have learned.
we learn so much!

our brains are amazing, they know a million gabillion things times TRILLION!

today i learned (among other things) that what moment is called.
You know that one where you know the word, but you cant think of it?
and you're like .....(crickets) ???!What IS that word?
Well that moment has an actual name, and yes, this is a technical term

tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomena.

AWWW YEAH!!! booo yah! take that grandpa!

i am so grateful for my mind and my healthy body and for God giving them to me for this wonderful wonderful life.
