Today I learned something. Something that is unimportant.
But that's okay, too.
You see, I was making my youngest brother a sandwich. Peanut butter and honey, right?
So, some of it got on my hand. Panic ensued! How could the knife be let go of, when there was honey afoot?!
So, I turned to the sink, and ran some warm water over it.
But, what's this?! The honey! It's still there. Okay, rubbing! Rubbing might help!
At that point, I think a plant in the room withered. No, not really. It still lives, even now. Yay, plant.
I digress. The rubbing didn't help! It just made things worse. Worse in a way that I don't even remember, because I stepped away from the keyboard in the middle of writing that sentence!
But, there I was. With water that was starting to burn my hands, and my being too silly to not make it cooler.
Then, eureka!
Soap!
It was a crazy, crazy stretch. But it worked.
So, my lesson today was that honey is resistant to almost everything, and you should never try to battle it- unless you have soap handy.
In which case you should replace any honey in your household with soap.
Less tasty, but less dangerous!
Edit Er, I messed up the title. Soap is in no way dangerous.

You've succeeded in confusing me. I have to go check on the wellbeing of my plants now.

So this is where my dad got that poem:
I eat my peas with honey; I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny, But it keeps them on my knife! |
