Things I Have Learned: Ow Edition; And, a Good Laugh

On Sunday, while going through a door to do a condo check that I've done a hundred times, I managed to somehow slip or something, I don't even know what, and absolutely slammed my knee into the door frame. This has taught me a few small things:

1. My automatic, no-thought-required curse in that situation is "motherfucker"
2. I can be quite loud when I'm surprised by pain (good thing there aren't a lot of people around at this time of year)
3. I lean on my left knee when getting into bed. Who knew? (Do that a couple of times and you do start changing your motions.)

I didn't say they were big things, but they are things I learned! The good news is that other than the bruise, it doesn't hurt. Believe me, in that first minute, I thought I might be crippled for life, so ... this is better.

Meanwhile, speaking of no-thought-required reactions, I've probably mentioned how I can't see one of those ridiculous cyber-silly "trucks" (you know what I mean!) without bursting out laughing. Any and all of them. What's funnier, the basic ones that look like a dumpster, the ones in other colors (I saw baby blue!), or the ones with a business "wrap" on it...

Well, the other day I saw one in the grocery store parking lot, and when I got out of my car, the driver was there, so I had to stifle the usual laughter. But I glimpsed him putting his groceries in the smallest wee trunk ever, like one row of grocery bags was barely fitting, and really had to bite my lip.

I looked it up when I got home, and it turns out that was actually the front of the vehicle--that's how hard I was trying not to laugh, I didn't even realize. But according to the internet, it has a "front trunk" space that can be used for storage. It looks like this:

And don't worry, according to Forbes, it has been updated so it no longer cuts off things that are on the edge when the thing is closed...

Anyway! Possibly the best part is that it's called a "frunk"---for front trunk.

And! I mentioned this on Facebook and a friend in England pointed out that over there, they would have to call it a "froot"---front boot.

I'm just over here giggling.
