It’s rare to find good memes, so when Andrea did one recently, I knew it’d be a winner!

What defines a good meme? Perhaps when the answers speak about the person. Some of the most terrible memes I’ve seen don’t relate to the person nor to the person reading them.

But maybe it’s because I’ve always known Andrea to be a foodie that’s why this meme works. Well, read my answers and see if you agree this is a good meme!

Why, I am in the presence of a mighty brain and I never thought to ask.

Honestly, my uncle doesn’t appear as uppity as you’d think someone with that kind of profile would. He’s very down to earth and very generous as well.

I guess when you’re a kid, you don’t think about who your adult relatives are. It’s not until you find the time one day to start googling everyone you know that you realise how little you know about even your own family.

It’s one of those days when it’s sandwiched between a public holiday and the weekend.

Why can’t they then make Friday a holiday as well???

There are days when the hours fly by …

And there are days when the minute hand takes forever to catch up with the hour.
