This is hilarious, Miriam! I know this has happened to me too, with things others have said and apparently my own "loofah" opinions I've mentioned over the years.

Hahah yes we all do it!! My husband’s friend told him that he and his wife are religious about taking walks after dinner because I once said it aids with digestion. I’m sure I said something like “so of course we should all be doing it.” But of course I don’t 😂

Miriam, this was such a delightful read! I laughed so hard at the mental image of lingerie-clad grandmothers at the Korean sauna—what a wild ride! I totally get you on those offhand remarks that somehow shape your life. Your honesty and humor make this essay such a joy to read. Quirks and all! 💖🚿
