The Dreaded ‘K’
If you never get one of these, be very, very thankful. My husband knows exactly what it means, even if he’s not sure why it happened. I believe there’s a whole lot less chemical reaction examination and a whole lot more brow sweating in my house, but every home is different.

I’m sure even Louis Pasteur, the French chemist, was subjected to the occasional “K” equivalent of his time. Especially when he spent hours locked away with his experiments. Still, he gets an automatic pass for discovering vaccinations, fermentation, and, of course, pasteurizing. Without him, some of us might not even be here to throw the passive-aggressive ‘k’.
