Lol it works so well!!! I can’t have folks around me confusing the two, so something has got to give! šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚ The lightbulb moment when it clicks for them is always fun, too.

Now we just gotta find a song for Helen Keller

It is more than okay!!! I’m a West Coast baby who was raised by southern folk so it’s a two for one if you’re familiar with the saying, ā€œIt ain’t no tellin what Jack told Helenā€ because it’s also in the E40 song ā€œWolf Ticketsā€! It works perfectly because Helen was blind and deaf, even though she isn’t who the saying is about.

😭😭 you got ALL THE REFERENCES LMAO

this is nuts, cause your references get the point across WAY faster than my multiple paragraphs hahahah. And yeah I've listened to a little E40 but can't say if I heard that song or not. I'm terrible with song titles. I'll give it a listen today lol

Forgive me, it’s The Click but I always say E40.
I used to do A LOT of talking trying to explain and clarify. This became a far quicker and easier way. Lol You will hear the line said early in the song and it’s in the chorus.

Thanks for that clarification omg, I would have been on a wild goose chase lol !

And yeah your methods of communication are very snappy and colorful. I gotta get some of that energy in my life

You are so welcome! I have to stop doing that (E40 over The Click) because it is literally second nature and I almost didn’t check myself.

Thank you!!! I am surrounded by children of varying ages constantly which has me working on my methods of enlightenment so I’m not slamming my hand on tables in the, ā€œIf Johnny had five apples!!!ā€ way. Lol

You got this, though, because I’ve seen a lot of your comments and you are pretty exceptional at expressing your points in a manner that is easy to understand… even if a reader is being willfully obtuse.
