November Fool's Day?

I'm sure you had no idea that you missed November Fool's Day. In our home we celebrated it by accident. The salt shaker was running low and as I am the only one who ever fills the salt shaker I went to the pantry and refilled the shaker. At dinner the following night Brett cooked hash browns which as I'm sure you know needed salt. I sprinkled some salt on it and tasted it. Nothing. I sprinkled more salt on and still couldn't taste the salt. At this point I was questioning Brett's shopping skills because he was the one who bought the salt on Saturday. But I wasn't going to shake salt on my hashbrowns a third time because I knew I would get a lecture from my kids. After all, I'm always lecturing them on too much salt.

After eating my peppery but saltless hash browns Brett started laughing. He had sprinkled the "salt" on his plate and tasted it. Apparently my powers of observation need a little fine-tuning.
